Mexico’s president asks U.S.-Iran to say ‘no to war’

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday that he would like to see a conflict between the United States and Iran resolved peacefully via dialogue, and asked those involved to say “no to war.”

Iranian forces fired missiles at military bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq on Wednesday in retaliation for the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general, raising the stakes in its conflict with Washington amid concern of a wider war in the Middle East.
