Security Council Gathers to Discuss Israel-Iran controversy on a Friday - Security Council to revisit Israeli-Iranian clash on subsequent Friday
ain't no party like a UN Security Council emergency meeting, amirite? Last Friday, these fine folks got together in New York City to hash out some beef between Israel and Iran. Israel decided to throw a major hail Mary, attacking Iranian targets early Friday morning last week. The targets included nuclear facilities and military installations, with several top Iranian military commanders meeting their maker. Israel's justification? Iran's advanced nuclear program had them all riled up.
Now, Israel ain't exactly the picture of innocence here. Russia, China, and a bunch of other peeps have been shaking their heads, calling out the Israeli military action as a violation of international law and flagrant acts of aggression. They're saying it goes against those UN goodies like the prohibition on the use of force and jus cogens norms. Oops.
Guess who else didn't appreciate Israel's moves? Civvies in Tehran, right? Plus, scientists, military officials, and media workers. Not cool, Israel. Not cool at all.
So, what'd Iran do about it? They whipped out some drones and missiles and took a swing at Israel.
During the UN meeting, Israel's ambassador defended their actions, calling out Iran's appeal as hypocritical and accusing them of ignoring international norms for way too long. Israel's ambassadorarni' said the US action was necessary to keep Israel, the US, and the whole shebang safe from Iran's nuclear threat.
But, hold up. UN Secretary-General António Guterres wasn't feeling the US use of force. He warned this could spiral out of control, and he's calling for everyone to cool their jets and stick to the rules of international law to keep the peace.
As for Russia, China, and Pakistan, they ain't exactly said boo about the whole shebang yet. But considering their diplomatic positions on Middle East conflicts, they're probably hoping for a peaceful resolution to this mess.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Friday's UN Security Council meeting. This show's far from over.
- The European Union, the United Nations, and other global bodies are calling on Israel and Iran to exercise restraint and adhere to international law, as ongoing war-and-conflicts between the two nations have escalated, causing political turmoil and general-news concern.
- As the UN Security Council continues discussions on the Israel-Iran uproar, various nations, including the European Union and the United States, are pressing for a peaceful resolution that upholds the principles of the European Community, while cautioning against any further acts of aggression in war-and-conflicts situations.
