UN envoy plans to visit Iran as part of peace effort

WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - A personal envoy of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres plans to visit Iran as part of his efforts to encourage an end to the Iran war, but his travel plans will depend on security and logistics, a U.N. source said.

Jean Arnault, a veteran U.N. diplomat Guterres named as his envoy on the conflict last month, headed to the Middle East on Monday.

The U.N. has not provided details of his itinerary.
