UN Calls for Immediate Ceasefire as Middle East Conflict Escalates
Date: June 21, 2025
In a dramatic turn of events, the United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Iran, following a night of heavy missile and drone attacks. UN Secretary-General AntΓ³nio Guterres warned that "the region is on the brink of a broader war" and urged all nations to exercise restraint. The US and Russia have both expressed concern, while diplomatic efforts are being mobilized in Geneva and Doha.
Reports confirm that multiple strikes were exchanged between the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Israeli forces near the Golan Heights. Meanwhile, cyberattacks targeting Israeli infrastructure and retaliatory strikes on Iranian nuclear sites have heightened tensions further.
International flights have been rerouted, and oil prices surged by 4.7% amid the uncertainty. Protests have erupted in several European capitals calling for peace and humanitarian access to conflict zones.
