Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham has called for restraint from all parties involved in the ongoing deadly violence in South Sudan.
A UN peacekeeping base in South Sudan's Jonglei State has been attacked and the United Nations has received reports that some people have been killed, Deputy UN Secretary-General Jan Eliasson says.
Hundreds of people are believed to have died in clashes between rival South Sudan army factions, the UN says, quoting unconfirmed reports.
