Un Security Council Meeting On Iran Conflict Scheduled Soon

On February 28, 2026, the UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting in response to the recent military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, which have escalated tensions in the Middle East. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned these actions, stating that they 'undermine international peace and security' and called for an 'immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation.' He warned that failing to do so could lead to a wider regional conflict with 'grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.' The meeting was prompted by requests from Russia and China, who labeled the strikes as 'unprovoked acts of armed aggression' and demanded that the aggressors cease their actions immediately (Business Recorder, Global News).
