UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed serious alarm regarding the U.S. military actions against Iran's nuclear facilities, labeling it as a significant escalation in an already volatile Middle East. He emphasized the potential catastrophic consequences for civilians and condemned the attacks as a threat to global peace. In light of growing tensions, he urged world nations to prioritize diplomacy over military options. The international community is called upon to address the situation, especially amid reactions from Iran, which is calling for formal condemnation from the UN Security Council.
Guterres warned this is a "dangerous escalation" as the Middle East is "already on edge" and this attack could have "catastrophic consequences for civilians" across the region.
There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control - with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.
At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.
The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Security Council to convene an emergency session to unequivocally condemn the criminal act of aggression by the United States against Iran.
