Mexico, Brazil and Colombia are calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East, as the United States and Israel’s war in Iran enters a third week.
In a joint statement, the three Latin American countries called for a pause to the fighting in Iran, where U.S. and Israeli forces continue their air assault after the killing of the country’s supreme leader.
The left-leaning governments of Mexico, Brazil and Colombia said in a statement that differences between states should be resolved through international diplomacy — and said they were willing to contribute to the peace process.
Health officials in Iran and Lebanon report more 2,000 people have been killed in their countries since the U.S. and Israel started strikes last month.
The call for a ceasefire comes as oil prices rise globally, and countries around the world consider the economic reality of a possible prolonged war in the Middle East.
