Russia and Germany have called on countries in the Middle East to show restraint, with Iranian threats to strike Israel.
Russia and Germany have urged countries in the Middle East to show restraint and Israel says it is preparing to "meet all its security needs" in a region on edge over an Iranian threat to strike Israel. The German airline Lufthansa extended a suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital Tehran and Russia warned against travel to the Middle East.
Conflict has spread across the Middle East since the eruption of the Gaza war, with Iran-aligned groups declaring support for the Palestinians waging attacks from Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. Iran has avoided direct confrontation with Israel or the United States, while declaring support for its allies. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called on her Iranian counterpart Hossein Amirabdollahian to urge "maximum restraint" to avoid further escalation.
