Iran Accuses U.S., Israel of ‘Acts of Aggression’ in Explosive Complaint to UN

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi unleashed a blistering formal complaint to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the entire Security Council on Wednesday, explicitly naming the United States and Israel as perpetrators of calculated “acts of aggression” following President Trump’s jaw-dropping public admission that he personally green-lit Israel’s ferocious June 13 bombardment of Iran’s most sensitive nuclear installations, a move Tehran insists violated every tenet of international sovereignty.

The Iranian letter zeroes in on Trump’s November 6 press remarks — where he boasted to reporters, “I was very much in charge” of the opening salvo — as smoking-gun evidence that Washington did not merely cheer from the sidelines but actively orchestrated the 12-day aerial onslaught that Iranian authorities say obliterated critical infrastructure, claimed over 900 civilian and military lives, and left several revered Revolutionary Guard commanders among the dead.

Araghchi’s demand goes far beyond rhetoric: Tehran is formally calling on the United Nations to impose sweeping reparations, full restitution for destroyed facilities, and monetary compensation for every drop of blood spilled, while branding Trump, his cabinet, and unnamed Israeli officials as bearing direct “criminal responsibility” for what Iran labels premeditated war crimes committed under the cover of night.

The document pulls no punches on accountability, warning that every pilot who dropped a bomb, every general who drew up the flight paths, and every politician who signed off on the mission — American or Israeli — will face individual prosecution in international courts, setting the stage for what could become the most audacious attempt in modern history to indict a sitting U.S. president and America’s staunchest Middle East ally.

Even as Trump waves an olive branch, claiming last month that Washington’s “hand of friendship and cooperation is open” whenever Tehran is ready to talk, and Iranian deputies quietly float willingness for a new “peaceful nuclear agreement,” the Islamic Republic is simultaneously ratcheting up pressure on the global stage, gambling that a decisive UN condemnation will force the United States and Israel to pay — literally and figuratively — for a war that diplomats on all sides insist is still smoldering beneath the surface.
