Middle East war at 'perilous stage' with strikes around nuclear sites: WHO

The Middle East war has reached a "perilous stage" with strikes around nuclear sites in Iran and Israel, the World Health Organization warned Sunday, as it called for maximum restraint.

"Attacks targeting nuclear sites create an escalating threat to public health and environmental safety," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. "I urgently call on all parties to exercise maximum military restraint and avoid any actions that could trigger nuclear incidents."
