I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today.
The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security.
These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world.
Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations.
The United Nations Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.
Everything must be done to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East.
I call on all sides to strictly uphold their obligations under international law, including the @United Nations Charter, protect civilians & ensure nuclear safety.
Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.
