UN Secretary-General Calls for Immediate Ceasefire Amid Rising Israel-Iran Tensions

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has voiced deep concern over the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, urging both parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire. He warned that the continued hostilities threaten to destabilize the broader Middle East region, with potentially severe humanitarian consequences.

“The urgent need for peace and dialogue cannot be overstated,” Guterres stated. “All parties must commit to halting violence to prevent further suffering and regional instability.”

The UN chief’s call follows a surge in tensions and clashes that have drawn international attention and heightened fears of wider conflict.
