Joint US-Israeli military operations that resulted in the killing of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has escalated tension across West Asia on February 28.
In retaliation, Iran targeted Israeli and US assets across several Gulf countries, disrupting key shipping routes and affecting global energy markets. As the war enters its 14th day, the exchange of fire continues with threats of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting the energy needs of several nations.
Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday expressed serious concern over the escalating crisis in West Asia, warning that the situation poses a major threat to global peace and security.
In a post on X, Guterres said the unfolding conflict has caused immense suffering for civilians and urged all sides to move towards de-escalation and dialogue.
Calling for an immediate end to hostilities, the UN chief emphasised that diplomacy remains the only viable path forward.
“De-escalation and dialogue are the only way out,” Guterres said, urging all parties to cease hostilities, uphold international law, protect civilians and return immediately to negotiations. (ANI)
