United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, which provides an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement released on Monday, his spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said that Guterres called it a ‘critical step” towards peace in the Middle East.
The UN Secretary-General said he hopes the parties will build on the momentum and ‘redouble their efforts” toward a final resolution.
