By Zoila Palma: The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has issued a statement condemning military escalation in the Middle East.
Guterres further called for immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” Trump indicated.
Following those strikes, Iran reportedly attacked U.S. bases in the region in retaliation.
