TEHRAN, June 30 : Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on the UN Security Council to recognize Tel Aviv and Washington as the initiators of the act of aggression and demand that they compensate for the damage caused to Iran during their attacks, the minister said in a letter addressed to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
“We officially request hereby that the Security Council recognize the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and acknowledge their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations,” the minister’s official Telegram channel quotes the text of the letter.
Araghchi also called on the UN Security Council to hold those responsible for this aggression accountable and prevent a repetition of the crimes.
Israel launched an operation against Iran on the night of June 13, accusing it of implementing a secret military nuclear program. The targets of aerial bombardments and raids by sabotage groups were nuclear facilities, generals, prominent nuclear physicists, and air bases.
Iran rejected the accusations and responded with its own attacks. The two sides exchanged strikes for 12 days, with the US joining in with a one-off attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities on the night of June 22. Tehran then launched missile strikes on the US base Al Udeid in Qatar on the evening of June 23, stating that the Iranian side had no intention of further escalation. US President Donald Trump then expressed hope that the strike on the US military base in Qatar had “let off steam” and that a path to peace and harmony in the Middle East was now possible. He also said that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, which after 24 hours should formally end the 12-day war.
