Caption: First Lady Chairs Historic UN Meeting as Conflict Escalates. First Lady Melania Trump led a United Nations Security Council session in New York focused on children and education in war zones, marking the first time a world leader’s spouse has ever presided over the council. She chaired the meeting as the United States holds the rotating presidency this month, even as US military operations continue in Iran. In her remarks, she highlighted the power of education in promoting tolerance and lasting peace. She also expressed sympathy for the families of fallen US service members and wished a full recovery to those wounded, without referencing any specific operation. UN officials warned that children are paying a heavy price in the escalating regional tensions, with schools in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman shifting to remote learning. Iran has reported a deadly strike on an elementary school in Minab, blaming the US and Israel. Washington says it is reviewing the reports, while Israel denies knowledge of any operation there.
