The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, expressed deep concern over reports of civilian casualties in Iran. His reaction comes following reports of dead and wounded among the civilian population during the recent confrontations.
Guterres called for an immediate cessation of hostilities between the United States and Iran. The UN official emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire to avoid further loss of life and an escalation of the conflict.
The call for a resumption of diplomacy is another central point in Guterres's position. The Secretary-General argues that dialogue must prevail over force as a way to resolve the differences between the two parties.
The international community has been closely monitoring the evolution of the situation, with several countries expressing concern about the potential for regional destabilization that the confrontations could cause.
