The United Nations Security Council is set to hold closed-door consultations on Friday over the ongoing war in Iran, as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate.
The meeting, requested by Russia, will focus on recent strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, including schools and healthcare facilities, amid growing international concern over the humanitarian toll.
The conflict, which began following joint military action by United States and Israel on February 28, has since expanded across the region, triggering sustained retaliatory attacks and disrupting key energy routes.
One of the deadliest incidents occurred in the southern Iranian city of Minab, where a strike hit a school, reportedly killing more than 160 children.

Preliminary findings from a US military investigation indicated the attack was caused by a targeting error involving a cruise missile.
The escalation has also led to the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global oil and gas supply, further heightening fears of economic fallout.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Human Rights Council is expected to hold a separate session in Geneva to examine the circumstances surrounding the school attack and broader civilian impact of the war.
Diplomatic efforts remain ongoing, but the latest consultations signal increasing global pressure for accountability and a possible pathway towards de-escalation.
