Iran Calls UN Security Council to Address US-Israeli Attacks, War Crimes Allegations

Iran has accused Israel and the United States of committing grave war crimes and aggressive acts against its territorial sovereignty, calling these actions a 'historic test' for the United Nations Security Council to uphold international law. Iranian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, condemned Israel as the main source of regional instability, highlighting its nuclear arsenal and accusing it of numerous terrorist operations against Palestinians. Iran emphasized its own nuclear program's peaceful nature and its compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring, while criticizing Israel's refusal to join disarmament treaties and alleging hypocrisy in accusations against Iran. Following recent military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran has called for accountability, including proposing that the leaders of France, Germany, and the UK be held responsible for supporting Israel’s actions. Iran’s letters to the UN detail the devastating human toll of Israeli attacks, with over 1,100 civilians killed and thousands injured, and demand that the Security Council end the impunity enjoyed by Israel and its allies. These developments come amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and the potential reimposition of UN sanctions, with Iran suspending cooperation with the IAEA after accusations of illicit nuclear activities and attempts to sanitize facilities from inspections.
