United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has confirmed the international organization's readiness to support the achievement of a sustainable and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this statement was released by the Office of the UN Secretary-General to journalists following the announcement of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran.
The document emphasizes that the United Nations stands ready to assist all parties in securing a lasting and comprehensive peace settlement in the region.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran had concluded a formal agreement. As part of this de-escalation, President Trump ordered the lifting of the naval blockade and declared the restoration of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint for global energy supplies.
The United Nations, established in 1945, frequently serves as a mediator in international conflicts, leveraging its diplomatic framework to facilitate dialogue between nations. The organization's involvement in Middle Eastern peace processes is a cornerstone of its mandate to maintain international security and prevent the escalation of geopolitical crises.
