Singapore condemns attack, expresses deep concern about Mid-East situation

Chin Hui Shan Singapore condemns the recent aerial attack on Israel, which Iran stated was in response to an attack on its diplomatic premises in Damascus on April 1, said the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on April 14.

In a statement, an MFA spokesperson said these "escalating attacks exacerbate tensions and further destabilise an already tense region".

This follows Iran's attack on Israeli territory late on April 13, when it launched a swarm of explosive drones and missiles.

Iran had vowed retaliation for what it called an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the attack.
