United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has called for an immediate end to the ongoing exchange of attacks between the United States and Iran in the Gulf region. In a post on social media platform X, he expressed deep concern over US strikes on Iran and Iran’s retaliatory attacks on targets in neighboring countries. Guterres warned that if the confrontation continues, it could bring devastating consequences not only for the Middle East but for the entire world.

According to the report, Guterres emphasized that all attacks must stop and urged both nations to resolve their disputes through diplomatic means. He cautioned that a full-scale war would be disastrous for the region and beyond. The statement comes amid reports of repeated Iranian strikes on US bases in Oman and escalating tensions across the Gulf.

The UN chief’s appeal highlights growing international alarm over the potential for the conflict to spiral into a wider global crisis if immediate restraint is not exercised by both sides.
