‘Peaceful resolution is necessary’ — FG calls for restraint in Iran-Israel conflict

The federal government of Nigeria has appealed to Iran and
Israel to exercise restraint following the recent escalation of hostilities
between both Middle Eastern countries.

Iran attacked Israel on Saturday following an April 1
attack, reportedly carried out by Israel on the Iranian embassy in Syria, which
killed seven Iranian military officers.

The US had earlier warned that Iran could launch a major
attack on Israel with more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed at
military targets inside the country.

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden said a meeting of the G7
countries would be convened to “coordinate a united diplomatic response” to
Iran’s attack on Israel.
