The United States has requested the UN Security Council to hold a meeting on the Iran issue
The United Nations said to Russian Sputnik News that the United States has requested a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Iran on January 15 (Thursday), scheduled for 15:00 local time.
An official from the Security Council said, "The meeting was proposed by the U.S. side."
He added that the U.S. request was to hold the meeting at 15:00 local time (04:00 Beijing time).
Currently, the rotating chair of the Security Council for January, Somalia, has not officially announced the holding of this meeting.
Iran's protests began at the end of December 2025, due to the devaluation of the Iranian rial. Starting from January 8, under the call of Reza Pahlavi, son of the overthrown Shah of Iran in 1979, the protests in Iran intensified, and on the same day, Internet services in Iran were interrupted. Protests in multiple cities have turned into conflicts with the police, accompanied by slogans opposing the Iranian political system. On January 11, Iranian President Pezeshkian delivered a speech to the nation, promising to continue economic reforms and solve problems, while accusing the United States and Israel of orchestrating the unrest. On January 12, Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghbari stated that the domestic situation in Iran had been brought under control.
U.S. President Trump expressed support for the participants in the Iranian riots.
