United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday expressed deep concern over remarks by Donald Trump warning of severe consequences for Iran if it fails to comply with US demands.
Speaking to reporters, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the Secretary-General was “very troubled” by statements suggesting that an entire civilisation could suffer due to political and military decisions.
The reaction comes amid rising tensions linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, with global concerns mounting over the potential for further escalation.
The UN has consistently called for restraint and diplomatic engagement, warning that inflammatory rhetoric could worsen an already fragile situation in the region.
Guterres’ remarks underscore growing international unease over the tone and direction of the crisis, as fears of a broader regional fallout continue to intensify.
