Iran requests an emergency meeting with the UN Security Council due to the Israeli attack that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and an Iranian general in Lebanon.
The Iranian UN ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, simultaneously warns Israel against attacking Iranian diplomatic missions or its representatives. He emphasizes in a letter that Iran will not hesitate to take measures to defend its vital security interests.
Israel's military chief, Herzi Halevi, said on Saturday that everyone who threatens Israel and its citizens will be attacked.
Nowhere in Iran or the Middle East is beyond Israel's long arm, said Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening.
Hezbollah is very close to Iran, and a large part of the movement's military power comes from Iranian support.
