The Nigerian government has called on Iran and Israel to stop their military attacks and embrace peace, following a recent strike by Israel that worsened tensions in the Middle East.
The call was made in a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja on Saturday.
The government described the Israeli airstrike on Iran as a dangerous move that has led to ongoing missile attacks and airstrikes between the two countries.
Nigeria said it is deeply concerned about the growing violence, warning that the situation could spread beyond the region and affect global peace and economic stability.
The government urged both countries to stop the fighting and show self-control to avoid further harm to civilians and regional security.
The statement explained that Nigeria believes in resolving disputes through peaceful talks rather than military action.
It also stated that war is not the way to end conflict, and that lasting peace can only be achieved through honest dialogue, respect for one another, and following international rules.
Nigeria also said it is ready to support any real efforts that would help bring peace to the region and reduce the tension.
