Secretary General António Guterres condemned Iran's attack on Israel and warned against further escalation at a Security Council meeting on April 14. (Video: Reuters) MOST U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERS CONDEMN IRANIAN ATTACK, URGE ‘RESTRAINT’ Updated April 14, 2024 at 11:17 p.m. EDT |Published April 14, 2024 at 3:06 a.m. EDT Listen 1 min Share Add to your saved stories Save The U.N. Security Council met Sunday to discuss Iran’s first direct military attack on Israel, its decades-long foe. A majority of the Security Council members, including the United States, condemned the attack, urging Middle Eastern leaders to avoid escalation of the six-month Israel-Gaza war. In its overnight attack, Iran sent more than 300 drones and missiles toward Israel but did not cause major damage or injuries because a U.S.-led coalition destroyed most of the projectiles.

Security Council members trade blame in testy meeting * Iranian attack was ‘on the high end’ of what U.S. anticipated, official says * G-7 denounces Iranian attack, calls for stability Skip to end of carousel HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW: Ambassadors for Iran, Syria, Russia and China criticized the support of the United States and other countries that helped shoot down the drones and missiles. The representatives also critiqued the Security Council for not condemning Israel’s April 1 attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound, a strike that killed seven members of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and led to Tehran’s retaliatory attack. More than 99 percent of the missiles and drones were intercepted, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said. A few fell inside Israeli territory, seriously injuring a young girl and causing minor damage to a military base, he added. Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz made his military’s intentions clear Sunday, though he was not forthcoming with details: “We will exact a price on Iran, in the manner and at the time that is right for us.” IRGC commander Hossein Salami warned that any retaliation by Israel would draw an even more forceful response. Iran’s U.N. mission warned the United States to stay away from its conflict with Israel, and all sides said they would respond with force if provoked. 1/4 End of carousel Skip to end of carousel HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW Ambassadors for Iran, Syria, Russia and China criticized the support of the United States and other countries that helped shoot down the drones and missiles.

The war: On Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched an unprecedented cross-border attack on Israel that included the taking of civilian hostages at a music festival. (See photos and videos of how the deadly assault unfolded). Israel declared war on Hamas in response, launching a ground invasion that fueled the biggest displacement in the region since Israel’s creation in 1948. Gaza crisis: In the Gaza Strip, Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars, killing tens of thousands and plunging at least half of the population into “famine-like conditions.” For months, Israel has resisted pressure from Western allies to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave. U.S. involvement: Despite tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some U.S. politicians, including President Biden, the United States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions. History: The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mistrust are deep and complex, predating the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Read more on the history of the Gaza Strip.
