The United Nations says Secretary-General António Guterres is deeply concerned by the continuing military escalation between Iran and the United States, particularly attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran and across the region.⁣ ⁣ Relaying a message from Guterres, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq called such attacks "unacceptable" and said the UN chief believes there is no military solution to the conflict.⁣ ⁣ The United States struck bridges and an airport in Iran on Friday (July 17), provoking Tehran to respond by hitting a power and desalination plant in Kuwait, as the warring foes risked further escalation by expanding their targets to include infrastructure.⁣ ⁣ #UN #Iran #USA #MiddleEast
