UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on X that he was 'deeply alarmed' by the renewed escalation, that 'all attacks must stop immediately' and that the ceasefires in Lebanon, Iran and Gaza must be fully respected. A statement from his spokesperson the previous evening also called for navigational rights and freedoms to be respected, in an apparent reference to the Hormuz blockades.

Why it matters

His statement linked the Lebanon, Iran and Gaza ceasefires, as Iran did in demanding that its truce with the U.S. cover Lebanon.
