Iran Calls for UN Security Council Meetings to Address Israeli, U.S. Attacks on Nuclear Sites, Demands Reparations for 12-Day War

Iran has repeatedly called for emergency meetings of the United Nations Security Council to address military actions by Israel and the United States. Initially, Iran demanded urgent UN sessions to hold Israel accountable for airstrikes targeting its nuclear facilities, military sites, and top commanders. Following subsequent U.S. airstrikes, Iran also requested emergency Security Council meetings to condemn and address the American attacks on its nuclear sites.

Iranian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, have stated that the United States must pay reparations for the damage caused by these strikes and that Iran intends to pursue compensation through diplomatic and legal channels at the UN. In a formal letter to the UN Secretary-General and Security Council President, Araghchi urged the UN to recognize Israel and the United States as the initiators of aggressive acts during the recent 12-day conflict, holding them responsible for reparations and compensation. Iran continues to press the international community and the UN to hold both countries accountable for their actions, emphasizing the need for justice and condemnation of what it describes as acts of aggression. Additionally, Iran marked the 37th anniversary of the downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the U.S. as a reminder of state-sponsored terrorism, underscoring its calls for accountability.
