JAKARTA - The United Nations Security Council (DK PBB) will hold a meeting on Sunday local time, at the request of Israel after the Iranian attack.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the shooting of dozens of drones and missiles towards the Zionist regime in the Palestinian occupation region on Saturday (13/4) night.

The shooting took place in response to an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, some time ago.

The President of the UN Security Council for April from Malta, Vanessa totaling, told reporters that his party would meet on Sunday at 16.00 p.m. local time, responding to Israeli requests.

Israel has criticized all departments at the United Nations for the past six months since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023.

But now, Israel is submitting a request to meet the UN Security Council.

In addition, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan has sent a letter to him, asking him to hold an emergency meeting on Iran's attacks.

Erdan also urged the United Nations to openly condemn the Islamic Republic's response to Israeli aggression.

Dalam perkembangan terkait, Duta Besar Iran dan Wakil Tetap Iran untuk PBB Amir-Said Iravani mengatakan jika rezim Israel melakukan aksi militer lagi, respons Iran pasti akan menjadi lebih kuat, dan lebih tegas.

Iravani delivered the statement in a letter sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres andmen on Saturday.

This action is a form of exercise of the rights inherent in Iran to defend itself as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and in response to repeated Israeli military aggression, particularly the armed attack on April 1, 2024 against Iran's diplomatic location, which contradicts Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter., according to the Iranian ambassador's statement.

He added that it was regrettable because the UN Security Council failed in its duty to maintain international peace and security, allowing the Israeli regime to violate the red line and violate basic principles of international law.

According to him, such violations exacerbate tensions in the region and threaten regional and international peace and security.

"Iran's Islamic Republic will not hesitate to exercise its right to defend itself if necessary," said Iravani.
