    US strikes a dangerous escalation: UN secretary general

    quote    This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.  There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world. I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law. At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.
