Coordinated airstrikes by the United States and Israel across Iran have killed at least 201 people and injured hundreds more, according to Iranian authorities.[9] The attacks, which Iran says also threaten nuclear facilities, have prompted an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and urgent warnings from UN Secretary-General António Guterres to prevent further escalation.[9] The strikes have also disrupted air travel across the Middle East and raised fears of a broader regional war.[9]
