Emergency Session Highlights Risk of 'Growing Conflagration'
The UN Security Council held an urgent meeting Friday after Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, with officials warning the conflict could spiral into a 'dangerous new escalation' across the Middle East. 🚨
UN political chief Rosemary DiCarlo condemned the attacks, urging both sides to 'exercise maximum restraint' and avoid a wider war. The emergency session came just hours before planned US-Iran talks in Oman—now reportedly canceled.
Diplomacy vs. Destruction
IAEA head Rafael Grossi revealed key nuclear sites, including Natanz and Fordow, were damaged. 💣 'A peaceful resolution is the best way to ensure nuclear safety,' DiCarlo stressed, while UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for immediate de-escalation.
🔍 Why it matters: With global markets already rattled, analysts fear prolonged tensions could disrupt oil supplies and destabilize the region further.
