“The situation is getting out of control. It is teetering on the edge of the unimaginable. The region is being pulled into an ever-widening circle of confrontation. One crisis feeds another. One escalation triggers the next,” Guterres tells a Security Council meeting.
“As this dynamic spreads, the political objectives are becoming increasingly obscured by the confrontation itself.”
