Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday called on the UN Security Council to halt what he described as “war madness,” urging world powers to take immediate action to end ongoing conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, Anadolu reports.

Speaking at an event in Barcelona, Spain, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva addressed the five permanent members of the Security Council – the US, China, Russia, France, and the UK – calling on them to fulfill their responsibility to maintain global peace.

“Fulfill your obligations to guarantee peace in the world, hold a meeting, and put an end to this war madness, because the world can no longer bear it,” Lula said.

He also cited a 2010 diplomatic initiative involving Brazil, India, and Türkiye aimed at limiting Iran’s uranium enrichment program.

“When we published the agreement, I imagined they would praise us because Iran would not enrich uranium. What happened?

“The EU and the US did not accept the agreement, and now they are again spreading the idea that Iran is building an atomic bomb,” he said, referring to one of US President Donald Trump’s justifications for the war on Iran launched with Israel on Feb. 28.
