On Saturday, Russia and China requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, where China’s foreign minister called for an immediate ceasefire and the resumption of talks. Russia condemned the U.S.-Israeli attacks as “another unprovoked act of armed aggression.” Today, U.S. first lady Melania Trump is presiding over a U.N. Security Council meeting titled “Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict.” It’s the first time a spouse of a world leader has chaired such a session, and comes just days after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed scores of Iranian schoolchildren.
