The UN has expressed hope that a ceasefire between the US and Iran will be extended beyond its deadline while urging a return to dialogue, Al Jazeera reports.
Asked about what conversations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has held with parties to the conflict and regional players ahead of the deadline, spokesperson Stephane Dujarric says, “The secretary-general, as well as his personal envoy, continues to have various numbers of communications.”
“Our firm hope is that the dialogue between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran will resume, that the ceasefire will be extended, and that diplomacy will be fully enacted,” he adds.
