(Reuters) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres believes that attacks in Beirut and Tehran this week mark a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict in the Middle East, his spokesperson said on Wednesday.
“It is increasingly clear … that restraint alone is insufficient at this extremely sensitive time. The Secretary-General urges all to vigorously work toward regional de-escalation in the interest of long-term peace and stability for all,” spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
