Melania Trump Chairs UN Security Council Meeting Amid Middle East Tensions

US First Lady Melania Trump chaired a United Nations Security Council meeting on "Children, Technology, and Education in Conflict," marking the first time a world leader's spouse presided over the council. The session, held as the US assumed the rotating presidency, emphasized education's role in promoting tolerance and peace amid escalating Middle East tensions following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Iran accused the US and Israel of targeting a girls' school, allegations the US and Israel denied. UNICEF and the UN Secretary-General called for cessation of hostilities to protect children.
