The United Nations Security Council met on Friday to discuss the war between Israel and Iran, which has entered its second week. 

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has called for “immediate de-escalation leading to a ceasefire.”

Hanging over the conflict is the possibility of the United States joining Israel’s campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. President Trump on Thursday said he would decide whether to bomb Iran within two weeks

Russia and China, also permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran following a call between leaders of the countries on Tuesday. 

The Security Council meeting was slated to begin at 10 a.m. ET. Watch the replay above.
