US warns Iran that ‘all options are on the table’ in emergency UN meeting

At the UN Security Council, the US warned Iran over a crackdown that activists say has killed at least 2,637 people and announced new sanctions on Iranian officials.

  • The U.N. Security Council convened on Thursday at the United States' request for an emergency meeting on Iran, while President Donald Trump left unclear what actions he would take.
  • Iran's crackdown has killed at least 2,615, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported, marking the deadliest unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
  • Iran closed its commercial airspace for several hours early Thursday, while Lufthansa limited flights to daytime from Thursday through Monday and halted night flights to Tel Aviv and Amman for five days.
  • U.S. personnel faced movement restrictions, with some at a Qatar base advised to evacuate and the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait halting travel to multiple bases; Winston Peters, New Zealand's Foreign Minister, said his government was `appalled` and voiced concerns to the Iranian Embassy in Wellington.
  • Lufthansa warned of wider regional violence as it halted night flights for five days, while Iran previously closed its airspace during the 12-day war against Israel and made conciliatory statements after President Donald Trump threatened action.
