THE FUSE

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says: "I condemn today's military escalation in the Middle East.The use of force by the United States and Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace and security." Guterres adds: "I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table." For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
