UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has denounced the Iranian missile attack on Israel, after West Jerusalem slammed him for failing to do so and publicly declared him persona non grata.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a barrage of rockets at Israel on Tuesday, calling it a response to the recent Israeli killings of the heads of Hamas and Hezbollah.
”As I did in relation to the Iranian attack in April, and this should have been obvious yesterday, in the context of the condemnation I expressed, I again strongly condemn yesterday’s massive missile attacks by Iran on Israel,” Guterres told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.
Guterres condemned both Israel and Hezbollah for months of cross-border attacks that violated Lebanese sovereignty and called for an immediate ceasefire.
