UN chief condemns broadening of Middle East conflict: 'This must stop'

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the "broadening of the Middle East conflict, with escalation after escalation" after Iran fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israel's campaign against Tehran's Hezbollah allies in Lebanon.

"This must stop. We absolutely need a ceasefire," Guterres said in a statement on Tuesday.
