The meeting will start at 15:00 New York time (21:00 Greek time) and is being held at the request of Tehran, which was supported by Algeria, China and Russia, the presidency clarified.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araksi earlier called on the UN Security Council to meet urgently to condemn Israeli raids against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In a letter sent to the UN secretary-general and the president of the Security Council, Iran’s foreign minister requested “an urgent convening of the Security Council to take a decisive position and condemn this attack,” according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry statement.
In his letter, Abbas Araktsi states that “most of the missiles were intercepted by Iranian anti-aircraft systems,” but notes that the attack “damaged targets” and killed four soldiers.
The Israeli attack constitutes a “clear violation of the sovereignty” of Iran, which “reserves the right (…) to respond to this criminal attack,” the foreign minister wrote in his letter.
