Pakistan Sunday circulated a draft resolution ahead of UN Security Council‘s emergency meeting, pushing for ceasefire following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The U.N. Security Council is set to meet Sunday afternoon to discuss the situation in the wake of U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Pakistan, China and Russia proposed the 15-member body adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.
The three countries have circulated the draft text.

However, it is not clear if it will be voted today.
A resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by permanent members — the United States, France, Britain, Russia or China — to pass.
The Council meeting was sought after the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities that President Donald Trump called “spectacular military success.”

“The U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear assemblies in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan,” President Trump said in a national address from the White House Saturday night.
“Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.”
The president wrote on his Truth Social platform that a “full payload of BOMBS” was dropped on the “primary site” Fordo. The president also said all U.S. planes made it safely out of Iranian airspace.

In another posting, Trump wrote: “This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!”
The president addressed the nation regarding the strikes late Saturday night, saying that “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated” and issuing a warning to Iran to strive for a peace deal in its war with Israel.
“There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump said.

Pakistan, which announced to formally recommend Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, condemned the strikes in the neighboring country, expressing fears of a broader regional volatility.
Meanwhile, Iran lashed out at the U.S. for crossing “a very big red line” with its risky gambit to launch strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites with missiles and the bunker-buster bombs.
