UN chief Antonio Guterres has called on the United States and Israel to end their war with Iran before it spirals “out of control,” warning of “potential tragic consequences” for civilians as well as the global economy, AFP reports.

“To the United States and to Israel: it’s high time to end this war that is risking to get completely out of control,” Guterres has told reporters at an EU summit in Brussels. “To Iran, stop attacking your neighbours. They were never parties to the conflict.”
