UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s personal envoy, Jean Arnault, arrived in Iran as part of a regional tour aimed at backing “a comprehensive and durable resolution” to the Iran war. The United Nations stated that Arnault will hear Iranian perspectives on the way forward and reiterate Guterres’ commitment to support a peaceful settlement. Arnault also called on all leaders to “choose the path of peaceful resolution and the protection of civilians.”
The veteran UN diplomat, named as Guterres’ envoy on the conflict last month, left for the Middle East on Monday but the United Nations has not detailed all of his planned stops.
