The UN Security Council erupted into heated debate Sunday as global powers clashed over U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. China and Russia led calls for an immediate ceasefire, warning of a 'spiraling escalation' in the Middle East. 💥
Global Powers at Odds
Chinese envoy Fu Cong slammed the U.S. strikes as a violation of international law, urging Israel to 'immediately cease fire' to avoid regional chaos. Russia’s Vassily Nebenzia compared the situation to the 2003 Iraq War, accusing Washington of peddling 'fairy tales' to justify military action. 🚨
Diplomatic Tensions Soar
Iran’s UN representative accused the U.S. and Israel of 'destroying diplomacy,' while Israel’s envoy praised the strikes as a 'last line of defense.' Meanwhile, European nations like France and the UK urged a return to negotiations, with Barbara Woodward warning of 'serious risks to global stability.' 🌐
What’s Next?
A draft resolution by China, Russia, and Pakistan demands an unconditional ceasefire. With veto power in play, all eyes are on whether the U.S. or its allies will block the measure. The clock is ticking—comments from council members are due by Monday night. ⏳
