Israel-Iran Conflict: UN Security Council Meets Over Israel and Iran Strikes

Addis Ababa, June 13, 2025 (ENA)—The United Nations Security Council met in
emergency session over Iran-Israel conflict, amid strikes and counterstrikes.

Iran launched retaliatory airstrikes at Israel on Friday night, with explosions heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the country's two biggest cities, following Israel's biggest-ever military strike against Tehran.

Air raid sirens sounded across Israel as authorities urged the public to take shelter. Missiles were seen over Tel Aviv's skyline, with the military saying Iran had fired two salvos.

In the Tel Aviv area, Israel's ambulance service said dozens of people were treated for shrapnel injuries. Live footage of Tel Aviv showed what appeared to be a missile hitting an urban area.

The unprecedented Israeli strikes on Iran and the subsequent Iranian retaliation raised concerns about a broader regional conflagration.

Iran's state news agency IRNA said Tehran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel after Israel blasted Iran's huge Natanz underground nuclear site and killed its top military commanders.

Israel's military said Iran fired fewer than 100 missiles and most were intercepted or fell short.
