Caption: UN Chief António Guterres Warns of Possible War Crimes in US-Israel Iran Conflict. António Guterres said there are “reasonable grounds” to believe both sides in the conflict may have committed war crimes. He pointed to attacks on energy infrastructure, including strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field and retaliation against facilities in Qatar. Guterres stressed that targeting civilians is “totally unacceptable”, regardless of which side is responsible. The United Nations chief warned that rising civilian casualties increase the likelihood of violations of international law. He suggested the U.S. could play a decisive role in ending the conflict, urging Donald Trump to push for de-escalation. Guterres also indicated that Israel’s strategy may be aimed at weakening Iran’s military capacity and pursuing regime change. The conflict, now in its third week, is driving instability across the Middle East and impacting the global economy. European leaders, including Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz, have so far resisted calls to join military efforts. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
