Most members of the UN Security Council called for deescalation of the Israel-Iran conflict at an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Sunday.

The Sunday meeting was the third UN Security Council emergency meeting on the situation in Iran within the last 10 days.

Based on speeches at the meeting, most members of the UN Security Council held three consensuses.

First, they emphasized deescalation of the Israel-Iran conflict.

Second, they voiced support for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), agreeing that resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through political and diplomatic means are needed.

Third, they agreed upon strictly abiding by the UN Charter and international law.

"What is unfolding in the Middle East concerns us all. We must renew our calls for deescalation, and urge the concerned parties to step back, and return to diplomacy and dialogue," said Permanent Representative of Guyana to the United Nations Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett at the meeting.

European allies of the United States -- Britain and France -- made clear at the meeting that they did not join the U.S. attacks on relevant Iranian nuclear facilities.

"The United Kingdom did not participate in U.S. or Israeli strikes," said Barbara Woodward, Britain's Permanent Representative to the UN.

Countries, including Russia and Pakistan, condemned U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at the meeting.

"We are seriously concerned by the recent developments that have further heightened tensions. Pakistan has condemned the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which come on the heels of a series of brazen attacks by Israel on the nuclear sites," said Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad.
