The head of the United Nations has called for “maximum restraint” in the Middle East and condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Speaking on behalf of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, a spokesperson says Guterres is: “particularly concerned by Israeli attacks on nuclear installations in Iran while talks between Iran and the United States on the status of Iran’s nuclear programme are underway”.
“The Secretary-General asks both sides to show maximum restraint, avoiding at all costs a descent into deeper conflict, a situation that the region can hardly afford,” the spokesperson says.
