UN spokeswoman: We are withdrawing some of the international staff from Iran

The United Nard, temporarily withdraws from Iran some of his international staff and employees subject to it for safety reasons – UN spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci said on Tuesday after Israel announced subsequent attacks on Tehran.

“The United Nations have decided to temporarily withdraw a part of international staff without critical significance for programs,” she told Vellucci journalists, who is the director of the UN information service in Geneva.

She refused to answer the question of how many employees this decision concerned.

Israel began on June 13 raids on nuclear and military purposes in Iran, claiming that it was one step away from building nuclear weapons. Tehran responded with attacks of rockets and drones. On the night of Saturday to Sunday, the US bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities. US President Donald Trump announced their complete destruction, but vice president JD Vance did not confirm this, but said that the impact “significantly delayed” the development of the Iranian nuclear program.

On Tuesday, Trump announced a truce between Iran and Israel. The information he provided shows that the truce is to start from a 12-hour break in Iran's armed operations, and for another 12 hours of attacks, Israel is to stop, after which “after 24 hours the world will welcome the official end of the twelve-day war”.
