Given the US’s hostility and animosity towards the UN this request is suspect and is possibly being done to legitimize or justify the desired US/Israel attack on Iran. The move reminds me very much of their staged appeal complete with Colin Powell psyop right before they attacked Iraq. Colin Powell brought shame to himself, lying through his teeth the entire time. Yes, I’m old enough to remember the presentation. Watching it unfold on the tell-a- vision. Scared my now deceased mother in law terribly
In plain talk, this may be just another ploy (a cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's own advantage) in the US/Israel war machine- An attempt at persuasion. Before their attack, already planned and prepared for goes forward. As stated, Iraq, 2003
Or it could be something else? I’ve mentioned this “something else” further down in the report- I hope you read through to the end.
UN Security Council Meeting on Iran, at US request- the latest
The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting Thursday to discuss Iran’s deadly protests at the request of the United States, even as President Donald Trump left unclear what actions he would take against the Islamic state
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has spoken with his counterpart in Iran, who said the situation was “now stable,” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
To my understanding Iran has largely gotten the very violent western backed destabilization under control
Abbas Araghchi said “he hoped China will play a greater role in regional peace and stability” during the talks, according to the statement from the ministry.
“China opposes imposing its will on other countries, and opposes a return to the ‘law of the jungle’,” Wang said.
“China believes that the Iranian government and people will unite, overcome difficulties, maintain national stability, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests,” he added. “China hopes all parties will cherish peace, exercise restraint, and resolve differences through dialogue. China is willing to play a constructive role in this regard.”
Turkey says it’s opposed to any foreign military intervention in Iran
Turkey also opposed the US attack on Iraq in 2003!!
“We are against military intervention in Iran,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul on Thursday. “Iran must address its own internal problems… They must address their problems with the region and in global terms through diplomacy so that certain structural problems that cause economic problems can be addressed.”
Ankara and Tehran enjoy warm relations despite often holding divergent interests in the region.
Yes, they do. They manage. They work stuff out.
Fidan said the unrest in Iran was rooted in economic conditions caused by sanctions, rather than ideological opposition to the government.
Of course there is one other possibility for this stall- I have to consider everything… Perhaps there are some unknown weapons or challenging alliances that have been brought to Donald Trump’s attention that is giving him pause for thought? Maybe the western bought and paid for destabilizers failed to accomplish certain military goals that would have been needed to be done before the USrael strike? Just throwing it out there!

During an event at the White House, Trump stated that he had been informed “by a trusted source” that “the killing is stopping in Iran. It has stopped… and there are no planned executions”, without providing further details.
In response to a question from an Agence France-Presse reporter in the Oval Office about whether US military action is now ruled out, Trump answered “We will monitor the situation and see how things go”.
The UN meeting may shed more light on this situation.
