Iran: Any Act of Aggression Will Be Met with Decisive Response

The UN Security Council discussed the recent protests in Iran, at the request of the United States. UN Assistant Secretary-General Martha Pobbi emphasized the escalation of violence and the need to prevent further loss of life, calling for the restoration of access to information and humane treatment of detainees (over 18,000). Torture and forced confessions were denounced by Iranian-American journalists and activists, as well as the complete disruption of communications in Iran. The discussion highlighted the need for diplomacy and dialogue, as well as a warning about potential destabilization due to statements about military strikes.
