Authored by bbc.com

UN Security-General António Guterres is speaking to press in New York about the war in the Middle East.

Asked about a report that Iran and US may resume talks in the next two days, he says: "The indication we have is that it is highly probable that these talks will restart.".

He also warns that respect for international law - around the world, and "starkly in the Middle East" - is being "trampled".

The secretary-general says "too many are choosing to turn a blind eye to justice", with rules governing use of force ignored and civilians "exposed to intolerable harm".

He says international law "applies to all states without exception", adding that it "applies urgently to the conflict in the Middle East".

Guterres says "serious negotiations" must resume and the ceasefire "must be preserved and extended as necessary", and that "international navigational rights and freedoms – including in the Strait of Hormuz – must be respected by all parties.".

It is time for a renewed commitment to international law," he says. »

It has sparked speculation that there could be more to the talks than meets the eye, with Trump previously vowing to “get Greenland “one way or the other” before backing down under pressure from Nato allies.
