Return to US-Iran hostilities is huge setback for civilians, UN rights chief says

The resurgence of conflict between the U.S. and Iran is alarming, according to the U.N. human rights chief, who warned it could severely disrupt essential supplies like food and medicine to civilians. Volker Turk emphasized that this escalation not only jeopardizes peace efforts but also heightens instability and threatens human rights throughout the region. This development underscores the dire need for diplomatic solutions to protect vulnerable populations and maintain regional stability.
