Antonio Guterres said, "I am deeply concerned 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."

"The risk of this conflict spiraling out of control is increasing rapidly and could have catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world."

Guterres urged all UN member states to de-escalate tensions in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. "There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy," he wrote.
