As the details of the Israeli attack on Iran faded away early Friday morning, reactions began to "condemn" the Israeli military operation "Rising Lion," which targeted military sites, nuclear facilities, Iranian military figures, and nuclear scientists.
Guterres condemns Israeli "military escalation"
UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned Israel's "military escalation" in the Middle East.
In a statement through his spokesperson, Guterres said he was "concerned" by Israel's actions "at a time when talks are underway between Iran and the United States on the status of Iran's nuclear program."
UN spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement issued early Friday morning: "The Secretary-General calls on both sides to exercise maximum restraint and avoid slipping into a deeper conflict, a situation the region cannot tolerate."
In Muscat, the Sultanate of Oman, which is mediating between the United States and Iran in their talks regarding Tehran's nuclear program, strongly condemned the airstrikes launched by Israel early Friday morning on Iran, considering them a "dangerous escalation" that threatens diplomatic efforts.
The Sultanate said in a statement carried by the official news agency that Muscat "holds Israel responsible for this escalation and its repercussions, and calls on the international community to take a clear position."#IsraelIranConflict
