The United Nations Security Council is expected to meet tomorrow to discuss Israel’s attack on Iran, diplomats say.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on the Security Council to meet over the “criminal attacks,” saying that they were a “grave threat” to peace, and diplomats said the council was likely to discuss the situation tomorrow.
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon rejects Iran’s complaint at the United Nations, saying in a statement that Iran is “trying to act against us in the diplomatic arena with the ridiculous claim that Israel has violated international law.”
“As we have stated time and time again, we have the right and duty to defend ourselves and will use all the means at our disposal to protect the citizens of Israel,” Danon says.
