”This is a dangerous escalation in a region that is already tense and a direct threat to international peace and security. There is a growing risk that this could quickly get out of control with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world”, writes the UN chief in a post.

Guterres urges the UN member states to work for de-escalation and uphold their commitments regarding international law and continues:

”At this fateful moment, it is of the utmost importance to avoid a spiral of chaos”.

From Benjamin Netanyahu comes nothing but praise. The Israeli Prime Minister says in a clip published on Sunday night that the attacks were ”fully coordinated” together with Israel.

History will remember that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime to acquire the world's most dangerous weapons, says Netanyahu.
