The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that the world stands on the edge of a catastrophe, as Israel’s military campaign inside Iran intensifies and strikes on nuclear facilities threaten to trigger a catastrophe.
In an address to the UN Security Council on Friday, Guterres made an urgent plea for de-escalation, calling the spiraling confrontation a defining moment for the future of global security.
“We are not drifting toward crisis – we are racing toward it,” he said.
According to UN News, he warned that the expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire no one can control.
“This is a moment that could shape the fate of nations. The expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire no one can control,” he warned.
The Secretary-General’s remarks came amid a mounting civilian toll in both Israel and Iran, and as several nuclear sites in Iran have come under direct military assault.
