Israel has requested that the UN Security Council hold an emergency meeting on Sunday to condemn Iran’s attack on Israel and designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan sent an urgent letter to the president of the Security Council, Vanessa Frazier, calling for the meeting.<\/p>\n

“The Iranian attack is a serious threat to global peace and security and I expect the Council to use every means to take concrete action against Iran,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles targeting Israel in response to a suspected Israeli attack on an Iranian compound in Syria earlier this month which killed two brigadier generals and five other members of Iran’s powerful IRGC.<\/p>\n

Israel has been Iran’s declared arch-enemy since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.<\/p>\n

The decades-old tensions between the two countries have escalated following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
