UN chief condemns U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran during emergency Security Council meeting


UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief condemned the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran on Saturday and called for an immediate return to negotiations "to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink." He blasted the U.N. and the Security Council, its most powerful body, for not heeding Tehran's warnings about the "warmongering statements" by the U.S. in recent weeks and urged the council to act now. The Security Council meeting is taking place on the last day of the United Kingdom's presidency and a day before the United States takes over the rotating presidency for the month of March.
