The world stands on the edge of catastrophe: Anotnio Guterres
The world stands on the edge of catastrophe, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned on Friday, as Israel’s military campaign inside Iran intensifies and strikes on nuclear facilities threaten to trigger a catastrophe.
In an address to the UN Security Council on Friday, Mr. Guterres made an urgent plea for de-escalation, calling the spiralling confrontation a defining moment for the future of global security.
“We are not drifting toward crisis – we are racing toward it,” he said.
“This is a moment that could shape the fate of nations…the expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire no one can control,” he warned.
Widespread panic, destruction
The Secretary-General’s remarks came amid a mounting civilian toll in both Israel and Iran, and as several nuclear sites in Iran have come under direct military assault.
Over 100 targets have been struck across Iran, including military and nuclear infrastructure such as the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities and the Khondab heavy water reactor.
Iranian officials report over 224 civilian deaths, with some estimates twice as high. More than 2,500 have been injured reportedly – while major cities like Tehran have seen mass displacements, fuel shortages and widespread panic.
Iran has responded with its own barrage of missile strikes on Israel, hitting cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beersheba. Critical civilian sites, including the Soroka Medical Center and the Weizmann research institute, have been damaged. Twenty-four Israelis are confirmed dead, with more than 900 injured.
