The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, expressed his deep concern on Saturday following the U.S. bombing of three nuclear facilities in Iran, describing this action as a “dangerous escalation.” This attack comes amid recent violent confrontations between Tehran and Tel Aviv, further heightening tensions in the relationship between the two countries.
Guterres stated: “I am very alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today,” emphasizing that “there is no military solution.” In his remarks, he highlighted that recent actions could represent a “direct threat to international peace and security,” especially in a region already marked by volatility.
In a televised speech from the White House, President Donald Trump declared that the nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan had been “totally destroyed,” describing the attack as a “spectacular military success” and urging Iranian leaders to resume negotiations on their nuclear program or face an escalation of attacks.
So far, Iranian authorities have not confirmed the extent of the damage caused by the attack. The Iranian Foreign Minister issued a warning to the United States about any involvement in a conflict that began on June 13 following an Israeli strike. Since the onset of hostilities, it has been reported that at least 430 Iranians have lost their lives and around 3,500 have been injured. In response, 24 civilians in Israel have died due to retaliatory attacks, and over 400 missiles have been launched at the country.
Trump also revealed that the U.S. attack used B-2 bombers that dropped bunker-busting bombs on the Fordow uranium enrichment facility, located deep within a mountain south of Tehran.
The UN Secretary-General reiterated his concerns in an emergency meeting of the Security Council, warning that the conflict could rapidly escalate with devastating consequences for the civilian population. He called on all member states to de-escalate the situation and respect their obligations under the UN Charter and international law.
Guterres concluded by emphasizing that “in these dangerous times, it is essential to avoid a spiral of chaos,” highlighting the importance of returning to diplomacy as the only path to peace.
