NEW YORK - Guyana’s ambassador to the UN on Monday called for dialogue to put an end to the conflict between Israel and Iran as both countries continued to trade strikes.
“We call for dialogue, we call for a return to the negotiating table,” Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Guyana’s representative and president of the UN Security Council for the month of June, told Rudaw.
Tensions between Israel and Iran boiled over on Friday after Israel carried out extensive airstrikes in Iran, killing senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. In response, Iran launched missile salvos and deployed scores of drones against Israel.
“The region is becoming increasingly combustible, and we need to see some sort of easing of these tensions,” Rodrigues-Birkett stressed.
