Ανάρτηση από António Guterres (@antonioguterres): The only hope is peace

I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security. There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world. I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law. At this perilous hour, it…

DEBATE: John Mearsheimer¹ & Yoram Hazony on Israel vs. Iran

¹On 16 June 2025, Freddie Sayers of UnHerd interviewed me about the ongoing war between Iran and Israel.
