JAKARTA - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the United States and Iran to be good faith in upcoming talks and to strive for lasting peace, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Friday (10/4).
"I can say that the Secretary-General welcomes the US-Iran talks mediated by Pakistan and scheduled to begin in Islamabad at the end of the week. He asks the parties to make good use of this diplomatic opportunity towards a lasting and comprehensive agreement," Dujarric said, quoting Antara.
On Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump said he had agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire with Iran and that Iran had also agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.
US-Iranian negotiations to resolve the conflict are scheduled to take place in Islamabad on Saturday morning.
On Wednesday, Israel launched the most significant wave of attacks on Lebanon since the war against Iran.
Trump said the cessation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon was not included in the deal with Iran because of the Hezbollah factor.
However, Iran considers it a violation of the ceasefire with the US.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that talks to end the conflict depend on a commitment to cease-fire obligations on all fronts.
