António Guterres manifested himself in the X, in a statement reinforced in an official UN note; For him, the offensive is a ‘direct threat to international peace and security’
The Secretary General of UN (United Nations), António Guterressaid on Saturday (21) being “deeply alarmed” with the attacks carried out by the United States against nuclear facilities in Iran. For him, the offensive represents a “dangerous climb” in a region already marked by instability and is a “direct threat to international peace and security.” The statement was published on social network X and reinforced in a UN official note.
Guterres appealed to the Member States to fulfill their obligations according to the UN letter and international law. “There is a growing risk that this conflict quickly leaves control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world,” he said. He reiterated that “there is no military solution” and defended diplomacy as “only possible path.”
The demonstration occurs after US President Donald Trump confirms that he authorized bombing against three Iranian nuclear complexes, located in the cities of Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. Iran confirmed that it was the target of the action, which occurs amid the intensification of clashes with Israel.
International repercussion
United States military action has generated reactions from leaders and governments in different parts of the world. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump and said the attack will “change the story.” According to him, the US President acted to “deny the most dangerous regime in the world the most dangerous weapons in the world.”
In Latin America, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the offensive “puts it at risk for world peace” and criticized what he called “a fire in the Middle East.” The Venezuela government also condemned the attack. Chancellor Yván Gil said bombings were performed “at the request of the State of Israel” and constitute a violation of international law.

Cuba President Miguel Díaz-Canel classified the action as a “dangerous climb” and a serious violation of the United Nations Charter. Mexico, through his Foreign Ministry, made an urgent appeal for dialogue and reaffirmed his commitment to diplomacy. US participation in the conflict, in support of Israel, marks the most critical moment of the crisis involving Iran since 1979, with increasing fears on the regional and global impacts of war.
