The UN Security Council has scheduled a closed consultation on Iran for Friday morning.
Russia asked for the meeting on US-Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure in the country, two UN diplomats say, speaking late Thursday on condition of anonymity because the meeting is not public.
The United States, which holds the Security Council presidency, scheduled the meeting.
