UN says it wants diplomatic efforts to continue 🚨
The deputy spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has commented on Trump’s claim that the US-Iran ceasefire is “on life support”.
“We have tried over the years in all of our diplomatic efforts not to listen too much to the rhetoric by any particular side involved in negotiations. What we want to do is make sure that the parties themselves remain committed to negotiations,” Farhan Haq said.
“Certainly, we appreciate the role that Pakistan has been playing as a mediator, and we want the efforts to continue. A return to full-scale fighting would be, as the secretary-general has repeatedly said, catastrophic.”
Haq added that the situation is already “untenable, given the lack of freedom of movement in the Strait of Hormuz”.
