In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Security Council President Michael Imran Kanu, Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani cited Trump’s recent remarks, in which he openly accepted responsibility for leading and overseeing twelve days of Israeli military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran in June.
The strikes left 1,062 people dead and thousands more injured.
Iravani described Trump’s comments as undeniable proof of the United States’ direct involvement, command responsibility, and leadership in orchestrating and facilitating the Israeli regime’s unlawful military operations.
He emphasized that these actions constituted a blatant violation of the UN Charter, resulting in significant civilian casualties, widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure, and serious damage to Iran’s peaceful, safeguarded nuclear facilities.
The ambassador added that the confession by the highest-ranking U.S. official provides clear and legally binding evidence of America’s international responsibility for these aggressive acts.
He asserted that both the United States and Israel bear full and joint responsibility for their attacks and their consequences, including the killing of civilians, extensive property damage, and the deliberate targeting of Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites.
Iravani’s letter reaffirmed Iran’s inherent and sovereign right to pursue all available international legal avenues to ensure accountability, secure justice, and obtain full reparations — including compensation in accordance with international law — for the victims, the wounded, and all damages suffered by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its people.
