UN Security Council will meet on Friday to discuss Iran-Israel conflict

Guyana, which assumed the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for June, said the Council will convene on Friday to discuss the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran.

The council held a first, urgent meeting after Israel attacked Iran last Friday. The second session was requested by Iran, with support from Russia, China and Pakistan, a diplomat told AFP. 

The UN Security Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security and tends to meet whenever peace is threatened.
