UN chief urges US and Israel to end the war, Iran to stop attacks and reopen Strait of Hormuz

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres called on the US and Israel to stop the war and for Iran to stop attacking neighbouring nations. 

“It is high time to end this war that is risking to get completely out of control,” Guterres told reporters in Brussels, after meeting with EU leaders.

This follows the escalation of US-Israeli attacks targeting Iran’s gas facilities, which led to Iran retaliating with strikes on Qatar’s natural gas complex.

Guterres also urged a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which threatens the world economy.
