Drones and missiles over Israel / UN Security Council, emergency meeting

The UN Security Council will convene on Sunday for an emergency meeting regarding Iran's drone and missile attack on Israel, the body's president said.

The meeting was requested by Israel, which wrote in a letter to council president Vanessa Frazier that the attacks "pose a grave threat to international peace and security."

Israel accuses Iran of violating its international obligations and of being the architect of instability for years through its support for Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

"The gravity and volume of the attacks are unprecedented," Israel added, "and are a flagrant violation of Israel's sovereignty, international law and Security Council resolutions."

It asks the Security Council to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the main branch of Iran's armed forces, as a terrorist organization.

In a separate letter to Frazier, Iran defended itself by saying it acted in "self-defense as described in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and in response to Israel's repeated military aggression."

The emergency meeting is scheduled for 16:00 EST (21:00 BST)./ CNA
