The Secretary-General of the United Nations said today: "All illegal attacks in the Middle East and other regions have caused great suffering and harm to the civilians in the entire region and pose a serious threat to the global economy, especially for the most vulnerable groups. The situation may get out of control and ultimately be beyond the control of everyone. It is time to stop fighting and engage in serious diplomatic negotiations. This is of great importance."
Comment: Guterres' statement seems more like a moral reminder that he knows he cannot stop, but must say anyway. He points out that the war initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran could lead to the complete loss of control in the Middle East, but he cannot directly name and pressure the party with the greatest military influence. Instead, he can only use neutral and restrained language to call for a ceasefire. This cautious expression behind it reflects the significant limitations of the United Nations in the face of power - they all understand the principles and hold justice, but lack the real means to stop the conflict, and can only watch helplessly as wars break out and conflicts escalate, facing a reality full of helplessness, frustration, and helplessness.
