“We act to stop a war, not to start it,” says Trump after an attack that killed an Iranian military leader | Univision Mundo News

World powers warned on Friday that the world has become a more dangerous place after the United States killed Iran’s senior general, and although some called for moderation, Britain and Germany suggested that Tehran was partly to blame for provoking the targeted attack that triggered tensions in the Middle East.

“We wake up in a more dangerous world. The military scale is always dangerous,” said Deputy Foreign Minister of France, Amelie de Montchalin, in statements to the RTL radio according to the AP agency.

“When these actions occur, these operations, we can see that the climbing is underway”he added.

Russia described the US attack as “plagued with serious consequences”. In a statement, the Foreign Ministry warned that “these actions do not help solve the complicated problems of the Middle East, but lead to a new round of growing tensions.”

Maria Zakharova, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said the US president was targeting his re-election campaign when ordering the attack.

“The United States Army acted on the orders of American politicians. Everyone should remember and understand that American politicians have their own interests, considering that this year is an election year.”, Zakharova said during a television interview.

Meanwhile, China said it was “very worried.” “Peace in the Middle East and in the Persian Gulf region should be preserved,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang. “We urge all parties involved, especially the United States, to remain calm and restrained and prevent tensions from rising.”
