UNITED NATIONS, April 14 /TASS/. The international community cannot afford another war, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, commenting on Iran's latest drone and missile attack on Israel. Antonio Guterres urged "all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid any action that could lead to major military confrontations on multiple fronts in the Middle East."
"I am deeply concerned about the very real danger of a devastating escalation across the region. I urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any action that could lead to large-scale military clashes on multiple fronts in the Middle East," he said. "I have repeatedly stressed that neither the region nor the world can afford another war."
Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, believes that the Iranian attack violates the UN Charter. The Iranian mission to the UN also said that the attack was in response to an Israeli attack on its diplomatic facilities in Syria and was carried out in accordance with the Charter's provision on legitimate self-defence.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced late Saturday night that Iran had launched drones from its territory toward Israel. The Israeli military remained vigilant and was monitoring all targets approaching the country, the press service said. Later, cruise missiles were also fired by Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an elite force within the Iranian armed forces, later confirmed that a massive drone and missile attack on Israel was underway.
