3 days ago
The U.N. Security Council in an emergency meeting Thursday discussed Iran's deadly protests. The meeting was requested by the United States. President Donald Trump has not clarified what actions he might take against Iran.
The United States stands by the “brave people of Iran,” and Trump "has made it clear all options are on the table to stop the slaughter," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told the U.N. Security Council on Thursday.
Iran closed its airspace to commercial flights for hours Thursday without explanation. Some personnel at a key U.S. military base in Qatar were advised to evacuate. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait also ordered its personnel to temporarily halt travel to military bases in the country. U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports Iran's crackdown on demonstrations has killed at least 2,615 people.
