UN says attacks in Beirut, Tehran are a dangerous escalation

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres believes that attacks in Beirut and Tehran this week mark a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict in the Middle East, his spokesperson said on Wednesday.

“It is increasingly clear … that restraint alone is insufficient at this extremely sensitive time. The Secretary-General urges all to vigorously work toward regional de-escalation in the interest of long-term peace and stability for all,” spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.

In addition, the United States will take every possible measure to protect its personnel and interests in the Middle East after recent attacks there, US State Department Deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said on Wednesday.

Patel made the comment at a regular news briefing after attacks in Beirut and Tehran this week, which the UN said marks a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict in the Middle East.
