Deploring the initiation and continuation of the conflict,

Deeply concerned that further escalation and widening of the conflict may take place,
…
Determining that there exists a breach of the peace as regards the conflict between Iran and Iraq,
Acting under Articles 39 and 40 of the Charter of the United Nations,
