A 'terrible spiral of escalation': World braces for intensifying Iran-Israel conflict

ISRAEL, JUN 19 – UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged urgent diplomatic action to prevent a wider war as hundreds have died and thousands have been injured in the Iran-Israel conflict.

  • Israel launched airstrikes on multiple Iranian military and nuclear sites, and Iran retaliated with missile attacks including damage to a hospital in southern Israel on June 19, 2025.
  • These hostilities escalated after Israeli strikes on June 18 caused explosions over Tehran, intensifying ongoing tensions and prompting emergency diplomatic talks scheduled for June 20, 2025.
  • Key international figures condemned the violence, with UN Secretary-General Guterres warning the conflict is 'racing toward a crisis' and urging diplomacy as the only viable solution.
  • Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei declared any American attack would cause 'irreparable damage' and ignite a wider war, while U.S. President Trump remained noncommittal but acknowledged considering possible military action.
  • The conflict shows no signs of abating, with global leaders calling for restraint despite growing violence and the threat of broader escalation remains acute in the region.
