«Kyrgyzstan calls on both sides to exercise maximum restraint and, in order to find a peaceful resolution to the current situation, to refrain from actions that could further escalate the situation in the region,» the ministry said.
On the night of June 13, Israel launched strikes on Iran, with explosions reported in Tehran. By 6 a.m. Bishkek time, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the completion of the first phase of strikes on military targets in Iran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation would continue «for as many days as necessary.»
