Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Sunday wrote a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UNSC President Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett to recognise Israel and the United States as the initiators of the “aggression” against Iran.
According to IRNA news agency, Araghchi urged the UNSC to fulfil its responsibility in maintaining international peace and security.
He also accused Israel of intentionally striking residential buildings, civilians, and essential infrastructure, calling the attacks a “clear violation” of the UN Charter and a “gross breach” of international law.
Araghchi stated that Israel and the United States had also attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities — which are under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — in a “serious breach of the UN Charter, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the IAEA’s regulations and resolutions.”
The Iranian foreign minister also stressed that the UNSC should hold the “aggressors” accountable and act to prevent the recurrence of such “crimes.”
