Iran Press/ America: A UN official expressed concern Monday over the tensions that have engulfed multiple countries in West Asia, which continue to rise.
Rosemary DiCarlo, political deputy of the UN Secretary-General, said in this meeting: The governments of Iraq and Syria condemned the US attacks on these two countries and announced that several civilians were killed in these attacks. The violence in the Middle East has escalated and the Secretary General of the United Nations has called on all parties to avoid leading the region to the abyss. We insist that the high human and economic costs of any possible conflict in the region be considered.
Referring to the developments in Gaza, DiCarlo said: "Most of the victims of the war in the Gaza Strip are women and children, and it is necessary to stop the conflicts and establish a ceasefire in Gaza for" humanitarian reasons. The number of dead in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 27,000 people, "
The UN Political Affairs chief urged the Council to help prevent further escalation and ease tensions across the region.
The UN’s Rosemary DiCarlo, briefed ambassadors first, warning that escalating attacks were fuelling chances of miscalculation.
