UNITED NATIONS, June 22 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council met on Sunday to discuss U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites as Russia, China and Pakistan proposed the 15-member body adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East. It was not immediately clear when it could be put to a vote. The three countries circulated the draft text, said diplomats, and asked members to share their comments by Monday evening. A resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, France, Britain, Russia or China to pass.
The U.S. is likely to oppose the draft resolution, seen by Reuters, which also condemns attacks on Iran's nuclear sites and facilities. The text does not name the United States or Israel. "The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States marks a perilous turn in a region that is already reeling," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Sunday. "We now risk descending into a rathole of retaliation after retaliation."

Who knows how France and the UK will vote.
A US vote of no makes the resolution moot.
I actually think the US should vote yes on a ceasefire it would drive liberals bonkers
why no focus on the Ukraine?
Meanwhile, Iran is begging Putin and Xi for a nuclear warhead.
US should veto ceasefire until they talk with Xi and Putin about this.
With great power comes great responsibility.
If the UN was honest with itself they would admit, and agree with Spiderman’s Uncle Ben that an Iran with a nuclear bomb would be like allowing a chimpanzee to handle an AK-47.
Frig the UN and NATO.
Maybe the dancing Uke is listening too. He speaks Russian.
“Russia, China and Pakistan proposed the 15-member body adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.”
Iren: start the war, lose the war, and THEN beg that the war get stopped ... got it ...
Because that scam has run its course.
Maybe that is history changing event they promised for last Wednesday. Those guys!
Russia and China like it when there’s a dagger poised at the throat of Israel. The UN is just another forum for the diplomatic wrangling that has been going on since time in memoriam. It adds nothing but another layer to the process and is owned by the totalitarians.
Amen! Get out of both!
Been to the UN, wouldn’t trust one single delegate to do anything right, including washing the floor.
