New York (HRNW)- The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting in New York to review the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the Middle East.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres delivered a strong warning during the session, stating that the world is approaching a serious international crisis. He emphasized that the UN Charter guarantees the sovereignty and security of all member states and that the use of force against any country is a violation of international law.
Guterres condemned the recent actions of the United States and Israel against Iran, saying the attacks allegedly endangered international peace and security. He also stated that reports claiming civilian casualties, including around 20 Iranian civilians, were deeply concerning if confirmed.
The Secretary-General stressed that strict adherence to international law must be ensured and reiterated that peace can only be achieved through diplomatic dialogue, not military confrontation.
During the meeting, Israeli representatives also addressed circulating reports regarding the alleged assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, but Guterres maintained a cautious position, stating that no final confirmation was available.
The representative of France strongly condemned the attacks on Iran and urged the Security Council to create conditions for negotiations and regional peace.
