Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah by the Israeli military, Iran has called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to discuss Israel's actions in Lebanon and the broader region. Iranian Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, sent a formal letter to the 15-member council urging immediate action. He warned against any attacks on Iranian diplomatic missions and representatives, emphasizing that Iran will not tolerate further aggression. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated, with significant casualties reported. The Lebanese Health Ministry stated that Israeli airstrikes on Saturday resulted in 33 deaths and left 195 others injured. The Israeli army confirmed that a missile fired from Lebanon struck the West Bank, causing a fire in the area.

U.S. President Joe Biden referred to the event as justice for the victims, while Iranian President Masoud Pijeshkian accused the United States of supporting the operation that led to the deaths of Nasrallah and others. In the past two weeks, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly killed 1,030 people, including 156 women and 87 children.
