CCTV reporter Xu Dezhi: My current time is 22:09 on the 13th Eastern Time, and my current location is outside the door of the United Nations Security Council. It has been confirmed by multiple sources that at 16:00 Eastern Time on the 14th, the United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on this attack. It is expected that Israeli and other representatives will participate in this meeting. In fact, in the past two hours or so, the United Nations has made multiple statements on this incident. For example, United Nations Secretary-General Guterres issued a statement in which he strongly condemned the escalation of the situation and called for immediate action. Cessation of hostilities. Guterres urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any actions that would lead to major military confrontations on multiple fronts in the Middle East. He once again emphasized that neither the Middle East nor the world can afford another war. In addition to United Nations Secretary-General Guterres, President Francis of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly also issued a statement expressing deep concern over the situation in which Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel. Francis strongly called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, saying this was a moment that required wise and careful judgment, taking into account risks and spillover effects of the conflict.

The US-Israeli summit called and the United States requested that the response actions be informed in advance.
CCTV reporter Xu Dezhi: In the United States, US President Biden returned to the White House from his vacation ahead of schedule and held two consecutive high-level national security meetings. Not long ago, Israel released a photo showing that US President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had a phone call. This was also the first phone call between the United States and Israel after the attack. However, there are currently no further details. Another news we just learned is that US Defense Secretary Austin clearly stated to the Israeli Defense Minister that if Israel has follow-up actions, the United States needs to know in advance. In addition, the United States continues to firmly express its support for Israel. We will further observe the subsequent developments.
