UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomes the statement made by US President Donald Trump after Iran launched missile strikes targeting US military facilities in Iraq, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric told a briefing on Wednesday, TASS reports.

"We welcome any statement that shows that there is a step away from escalation and direct confrontation. So yes," he answered a question whether the UN Secretary-General is content with Trump’s statement.

Earlier, Trump addressed the nation at the White House saying that the US is ready to embrace peace with Iran and is hoping that Tehran would live in harmony with all states around the world. At the same time, Trump announced that new "punishing sanctions" would be imposed on Iran.
