The UN Security Council will convene at Russia's urgent request to address US airstrikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Syria. Moscow labeled the strikes as aggression against sovereign states, heightening tensions in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. The US retaliated for a drone attack that killed three American soldiers in Jordan. More US retaliation is planned, raising concerns. Iraq, Syria, and Iran criticized the strikes, with Iran denying involvement in the drone attack. The Security Council meeting follows escalating tensions in the region, with diplomatic efforts underway to address the situation.
