Syria called on Friday on all parties to exercise “restraint” in the Gulf as its ally Iran comes under mounting pressure from the United States, state media said.
“The Syrian Government calls on all sides to exercise restraint because escalating tensions in the Gulf would not benefit countries in the region,” State news agency SANA quoted a foreign ministry source as saying.
“Dialogue... Would undoubtedly reduce tensions and would ensure stability, security and peace,” the source said.
