Uzbekistan is deeply concerned about the new stage of escalation of the situation in the Middle East, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country said.

The Uzbek side called on all parties to be calm, to refrain from continuing military actions and to take all possible measures for the political settlement of the conflict as soon as possible.

"We believe that the escalation of tensions in this region may lead to more serious consequences and large-scale military confrontations," the statement said.

Earlier, the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, speaking about the unrest in the world, said, "The balance has been broken in the international arena, the rules and regulations have completely changed."

According to the President of Uzbekistan, "it is fair to say that there is no trust even between the countries that used to be friends. No one knows how far this unrest in the world will expand tomorrow."
