📢 U.S. Calls for an Emergency Meeting of the UN Security Council Regarding the Situation in Iran 🔥
The United States has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the ongoing situation in Iran, including the violent crackdown on protesters by security forces. The meeting is scheduled for today, Thursday, January 15, at 3 p.m. EST in New York.
The request comes amid escalating tensions, including anti-government protests in Iran that have been met with a violent crackdown by security forces. Reports indicate hundreds may have been killed and thousands arrested in the unrest, which was sparked by economic frustrations and has grown into broader demands for political change.
Iran has also made its own appeal to the Security Council, accusing the US of inciting violence and interfering in its internal affairs. Meanwhile, the UN human rights chief has expressed horror at the mounting violence against protestors and called for an immediate halt to all forms of repression.
