Iran’s mission to the UN has said that the UN Security Council condemnation of Israel’s attack on its consular section in Syrian capital could have prevented the need for retaliation.

Iran’s permanent ambassador to the UN urges the Security Council to slam terrorist attacks in the southeastern part of the country.

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting following a deadly Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

Truce talks between Israel and Hamas are expected to resume in the Egyptian capital city of Cairo, days after the United Nations Security Council issued its first demand for a ceasefire in the war on Gaza.

The veto does not end the UN sanctions against North Korea.

The much-awaited resolution adopted by the UN Security Council on ceasefire in Gaza marks another significant victory for the Palestinian resistance and isolation for the apartheid Israeli regime.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says the UN Security Council’s adoption of a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza is an “insufficient” measure.
