Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has reaffirmed Tehran’s “full and unequivocal” right to seek legal accountability and reparations from the United States for losses caused by the June 2025 aggression, which he called an internationally wrongful act.

In a letter addressed to the UN Secretary-General and the president of the Security Council, Iravani cited recent US admissions, including confirmation from the US Air Force that F-35 stealth fighters entered Iranian airspace and escorted B-2 bombers to strike peaceful nuclear sites.

The envoy noted that the acknowledgment by the US military is further corroborated by a statement from US President Donald Trump, who on November 6 admitted he was "very much in charge of" the joint Israeli-American aggression against Iran.

Iravani said the confession confirms the criminal responsibility of US officials involved in grave violations of international humanitarian law, including the crime of aggression, stressing that Iran reserves the right to pursue all available legal avenues to ensure accountability and obtain full reparations for the damages incurred.

June attacks killed over 1,000, hit civilian infrastructure

According to the Iranian envoy, on June 13, "Israel" launched a deliberate act of aggression against Iran, killing at least 1,064 people and targeting civilian infrastructure.

Subsequently, on June 22, the United States bombed three key Iranian nuclear facilities, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in what Iran described as a serious breach of the UN Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iravani said the United States is legally obligated to make full reparations under established international legal frameworks. He emphasized that President Trump’s public admission highlights the direct involvement of senior US leadership in the aggression, assigning criminal culpability to both political and military figures in Washington, noting that Iran halted the attacks through a series of retaliatory operations conducted in the days that followed, effectively ending the 12-day war.

In his letter, the Iranian envoy urged the United Nations, including the Security Council, to take immediate and appropriate measures to hold both the United States and the Israeli entity accountable for what he described as grave violations of international law. He stressed that the aggression constituted a clear violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of any state.

Iravani concluded by warning that continued international silence in the face of these acknowledged violations only emboldens the occupation and its allies to persist with policies of violence and impunity.
