Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated further at the United Nations Security Council, where both nations exchanged heated accusations. Despite ongoing hostilities, Iran signaled it remains open to diplomatic efforts, while Israel’s ambassador to the UN declared that attacks on Iran would continue “until the nuclear threat is dismantled” and “its war machine disarmed.”
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a stark warning, saying the growing conflict risks “igniting a fire no one can control.”
The war, now in its second week, intensified as rocket trails lit up the skies over the Israeli city of Netanya during a fresh wave of Iranian missile attacks on June 21, 2025. Meanwhile, Israel’s top military commander cautioned of a “prolonged campaign,” and Iran ruled out any further nuclear negotiations with the United States unless Israeli strikes are halted.
