AMMAN, May 22 (Xinhua) -- The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union on Wednesday warned against the consequences of military escalation in the Middle East amid increased tension between Iran and the United States.

Atef Tarawneh, head of the union, said a united Arab stand is required as the military escalation will tamper with the peace and stability of the entire Arab region, state-run Petra news agency reported.

"We announce our absolute solidarity with the security of Arab and Gulf countries, and value various diplomatic efforts to contain the crisis," he said.

On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted a fresh threat against Iran as an escalation of his tough stance on the Islamic state.

"If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran," Trump said. Enditem
