Albares said that last week he met in New York with his Iranian counterpart on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and asked that his country “not use violence and that it use all the leverage it has over its related groups, whether Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen or the Shiite groups in Iraq to contain this escalation.”
Iran fired hundreds of missiles at Israel on Tuesday, where the air raid sirens rang out after the army urged the population to prepare for a “large-scale” attack by the Islamic Republic.
The Israeli military claimed that it intercepted a large number of the missiles fired.
