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.”
Secretary-General António Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council that everything must be done to prevent further escalation. “The alternative,” he warned, “is a potential wider conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.”
Guterres said the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the U.N. Charter. He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, insisted the U.S. military action was lawful.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he told the council. “That principle is not a matter of politics. It’s a matter of global security. And to that end, the United States is taking lawful actions.”
Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon defended the airstrikes as necessary to stop an existential threat.

Good time to resign the UN because we sure aren’t united with them.
UN can go to hell. Iran Ayatollahs have been fighting and hostile to America and violent against us and everyone else for 50 years solid every year, year after year. Thank God for Donad Trump and Bibi Netanyahu. I hope they glass Iran.
The Godless Reprobate United Nations
eagerly awaits Satan’s Antichrist
U.S. OUT OF U.N.
U.N. OUT OF U.S.
Comments BUMP!
TONIGHT!
Negotiate with who?
They’re dead.
Kinda silly to negotiate with a government that no longer exists.
“...to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.”
Five DECADES later! Decades late but NOT one dollar short. Thank you, President Trump!
Pretty sure after this weekend Iran ain’t gonna be a threat to anyone. Ever again. Amen.
Meanwhile, the UN puts Iran on favored “humanitarian watchdog” committees and such. Stuff it, UN.
Has the UN ever done anything that was good?
A UN Chief like real Nazi Kurt Waldheim?
The UN doesn’t exactly have a great track record.
When the UN is squawking you know the right thing is being done. They have consistently been on the wrong side of everything for years and years helping foreign bad guys and condemning the people who stand up against them. And how about the $Trillions now wasted keeping poor people poor in the name of the Climate Change hoax. The UN has become just another expensive fountain of grift and fraud.
As Dave Chappelle said as Black Bush, the U.N. will have to sanction us with its army.
Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979*-Present)
*All the way BACK to when I was a TEENAGER and a new enlistee in the US Army!
"He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates."
But not Israel? And, retaliatory? IOW, the Associated Press supports terrorism, and is itself a terrorist organization.
Can we kick them out of New York yet? (And the country)
Too bad. Countries can defend themselves against the U.N.’s favored dictators.
The Irony!
