UN chief urges immediate halt to escalating Gulf attacks UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an immediate end to the escalating attacks across the Gulf. In a post on X, Guterres said he was “deeply concerned” by US strikes on Iran and Iranian attacks on neighbouring countries. “These attacks must all stop.” Guterres warned that a return to full-scale war would have catastrophic consequences for the region and the wider world. He urged the United States and Iran to resolve their differences through diplomacy.
