UN Secretary-General António Guterres has strongly condemned recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon and expressed hope that ongoing efforts to reach an agreement between the United States and Iran will succeed. Guterres said the strikes on Beirut occurred while a ceasefire was in place, stressing that diplomatic efforts should be prioritised to achieve a peaceful resolution to current tensions. He noted that continued escalation of such conflicts would have severe consequences for the global economy and could further undermine stability in both the region and the wider world. The UN chief urged all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint at this sensitive stage and avoid any actions that could lead to further escalation. He also expressed optimism that ongoing efforts between the United States and Iran could lead to a successful agreement, paving the way for reduced tensions and a shift toward resolving disputes through dialogue.
