The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has strongly condemned Iran's large-scale attack launched on Israel. Guterres has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, expressing deep alarm over the potential for a devastating region-wide escalation.
Guterres stated, 'I am deeply alarmed about the very real danger of a devastating region-wide escalation. I urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid any action that could lead to major military confrontations on multiple fronts in the Middle East.'
The attack by Iran on Israel has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the possibility of further conflict. Guterres' call for restraint comes as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East.
The UN Secretary-General's statement underscores the urgent need for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts to prevent further escalation and loss of life.
As the situation unfolds, the international community will be closely monitoring developments and working towards de-escalation efforts to ensure the safety and security of all those affected by the conflict.
