JAKARTA - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued an urgent appeal to Iran to stop its attacks on neighboring countries.
He stressed that continued military action threatened regional stability and risked escalating into a wider crisis and implications for international peace and security.
Guterres made the statement upon arrival in Brussels to participate in the European Summit, which discusses security, energy, and international relations amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
As reported by ANTARA from SPA-OANA, Friday, March 20, the UN Secretary-General said that attacks on countries that are not involved in the conflict violate the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions, and he called for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
Guterres discussed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that the closure exacerbated global difficulties by raising the cost of living and burdening energy supplies.
He urged that diplomatic and legal solutions be prioritized over the logic of violence and war.
