TEHRAN: U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres says US attacks on Iran's soil are a direct threat to international peace and security, Guterres wrote on X early on Sunday.
I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge - and a direct threat to international peace and security, Guterres wrote on X early on Sunday.
"There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control - with catasrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world."
"I call on Member States to e-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the UN charter and other rules of international law."
"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."
