HAMILTON,  June 14 (Bernama-Anadolu) — The United Nations (UN) on Friday warned of serious regional and global consequences following Israel and Iran’s exchange of airstrikes, urging restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

“The impact of these attacks has already been felt throughout the region, with neighbouring countries closing their airspace and putting their security forces on high alert,” UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo told a Security Council emergency session on Iran.

DiCarlo reaffirmed UN Chief Antonio Guterres’ “condemnation of any military escalation in the Middle East” and noted the “obligation of Member States, in accordance with the UN Charter and international law, not to use force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

“We must at all costs avoid a growing conflagration, which would have enormous global consequences,” she said.

Iran and the US were preparing to resume talks in Oman before the escalation, she said, encouraging both sides to continue diplomatic efforts.

“A peaceful resolution through negotiations remains the best means to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme,” she noted.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi also briefed the Security Council, confirming damage to parts of the Natanz enrichment facility.

He said the above-ground section of the pilot fuel enrichment plant, where Iran had enriched uranium up to 60 per cent, was “destroyed.”

“There is no indication of a physical attack on the underground cascade hall containing part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant and the main fuel enrichment plant,” he said, adding that the loss of power may have affected centrifuges.

Grossi said that “the level of radioactivity outside the Natanz site has remained unchanged and at normal levels,” but affirmed that there is “radiological and chemical contamination inside the facilities.”

He added that the detected alpha particles are manageable with proper radiation protection.

“Such attacks have serious implications for nuclear security, nuclear safety and safeguards, as well as regional and international peace and security,” he said.

Emphasising that “the only sustainable path forward for Iran, for Israel, the entire region, and the international community is one grounded in dialogue and diplomacy to ensure peace, stability, and cooperation,” Grossi reaffirmed the IAEA’s readiness to facilitate dialogue.

Israel began its military operation early Friday, targeting Iran’s nuclear and military facilities and killing its top military commanders and scientists. The attacks continued until Friday night, with cities such as Tehran, Natanz, Tabriz, and Isfahan hit.

Iran then launched a retaliatory attack, Operation True Promise III, on Friday night.
