Guterres condemns Iran's attack on Israel, calls for immediate end to hostilities
By UN News
Apr 13, 2024 1:00 pm

Strongly condemning the 'large-scale attack' launched on Israel by Iran, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged maximum restraint by all parties and warned that 'neither the region nor the world can afford another war.'

'I call for an immediate cessation of these hostilities,' said the Secretary-General in a statement issued in New York early Saturday evening, shortly after what media reports suggest had been hundreds of drones and missiles launched by Iran at Israel.
