Iran urges UN to hold US and Israel accountable for June strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for the UN to impose "appropriate measures" against the US and Israel over military strikes in June against Iran's nuclear sites.

In a letter dated November 11 and circulated to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the UN Security Council, Mr Araghchi said Israel and the US must be subject to reparations, including restitution and compensation for the damage caused in Iran. Mr Trump said on November 6 that he was "very much in charge" of Israel's initial strike on Iran.

The Iranian minister claims that Mr Trump's remarks constitute clear evidence of US command during Iran's 12-day war with Israel, which Iranian state media says killed more than 900 people, including military officials.
