UN urges all sides to 'see reason' in Iran-US conflictGENEVA, March 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United Nations' rights chief deplored Saturday's strikes in the Middle East and urged all parties to return to negotiations, saying attacks would only result in "death, destruction and human misery". "I deplore the military strikes across Iran this morning by Israel and the United States of America, and the subsequent retaliatory strikes by Iran," Volker Turk said in a statement. "As always, in any armed conflict, it is civilians who end up paying the ultimate price. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organization, said the agency was concerned by the "grave risk to people's health" from the expanding conflict. "All must be done to reduce any nuclear safety risk, which may affect people in the region," he added.
