Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres is publicly and privately “being supportive of any diplomatic efforts that can be restored,” the U.N. spokesman has said.
Asked about France and Russia who have offered to mediate in the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said there are also other countries: “We’ve seen Oman being very productive in that sense, and I think anyone that can help, should help.”
