Feb 28 (Reuters) - Venezuela's government said on Saturday it condemned the attacks against Iran as well as reprisals by Iran, following a U.S.-Israeli attack that rocked Tehran and which authorities say killed 85 people at a girls' primary school.
"Venezuela condemns and regrets deeply that, in a context in which diplomatic efforts and ongoing negotiations are being developed, the military route was opted for, through attacks against Iran," it said in a statement.
The government added that this caused an escalation, including the "undue and condemnable military reprisals against targets located in different countries of the region by Iran."
Venezuela has been an ally of Iran but the U.S. military's capture of Venezuela's president in an attack on its capital last month is testing its diplomatic relations.
