UN Secretary-General Antonio Guttierez urged the United States and Israel on Thursday to end their war on Iran before it becomes "out of control," warning of "potentially catastrophic consequences" for civilians and the global economy. Guttierez told reporters at a European Union summit in Brussels, addressing "the United States and Israel: it is time to end this war that could become completely out of control." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed on Thursday what he said were signals from US President Donald Trump that operations in Iran could end, potentially allowing Europe to contribute to peace in the Middle East. He told reporters before the EU summit in Brussels: 'I express my utmost gratitude to the US President, who sent a signal last night indicating he is ready to end the fighting.' He also addressed Iran: 'Stop attacking your neighbors, they were never a party to the conflict.'
