“I have repeatedly condemned any military escalation in the Middle East,“ the secretary-general told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also called for restraint as he voiced fears over “potential widening” of the conflict.
Speaking to the Security Council by video link, he said there were visible craters at Iran’s key Fordo nuclear facility, “indicating the use by the United States of America of ground-penetrating munitions.”
He added that “armed attacks on nuclear facilities should never take place and could result in radioactive releases with grave consequences within and beyond the boundaries of the State which has been attacked.”
The text, seen by AFP, also “condemns in the strongest terms the attacks against peaceful nuclear sites and facilities.”
Israel’s UN ambassador, meanwhile, rejected the proposed resolution.
Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s envoy to the UN, slammed the United States for having “once again resorted to illegal force.”
Washington, he said, has “waged a war against my country, under a fabricated and absurd pretext: preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.”
