UNITED NATIONS, June 22 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday warned of “a rathole of retaliation” in the wake of U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.<\/p>\n

The U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities marks a perilous turn in a region that is already reeling, Guterres told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n

“From the outset of the (Israeli-Iranian) crisis, I have repeatedly condemned any military escalation in the Middle East. The people of the region cannot endure another cycle of destruction. And yet, we now risk descending into a rathole of retaliation after retaliation,” he warned.<\/p>\n

To avoid further escalation, diplomacy must prevail, civilians must be protected, and safe maritime navigation must be guaranteed, Guterres said.<\/p>\n

“We must act — immediately and decisively — to halt the fighting and return to serious, sustained negotiations on the Iran nuclear program,” he urged.<\/p>\n

Guterres called for a credible, comprehensive and verifiable solution to restore trust, including inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the Non-Proliferation Treaty is a cornerstone of international peace and security, adding that Iran must fully respect it.<\/p>\n

All member states, he said, must act in accordance with their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law, including international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n

“The United Nations stands ready to support any and all efforts toward a peaceful resolution. But peace cannot be imposed, it must be chosen,” said Guterres.<\/p>\n

“We face a stark choice. One path leads to wider war, deeper human suffering, and serious damage to the international order. The other leads to de-escalation, diplomacy and dialogue. We know which path is right.”<\/p>\n

He also urged the Security Council and all UN member states to act with reason, restraint and urgency for peace. ■<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
