Agenda:
Confronting the surge in US-Iran hostilities and its implications on regional security in the Middle East with special emphasis on nuclear non-proliferation efforts
The United Nations Security Council will focus its efforts on addressing the recent surge in the conflict between the United States and Iran. For years, Iran has been a pivotal Islamic power in the Middle East, which looks to solidify its regional hegemony and acquire nuclear power, while the United States is determined to deter its influence. While events of this conflict have often been sporadic, with a few flashpoints spread over several years, there has been a recent surge of hostility between the two nations, which has jeopardised the security of the entirety of the Middle East. Missiles and drones continue to roil the Middle East, all present peace treaties have failed, and tensions of a larger, wider conflict exist persistently.
