In a dramatic twist amid escalating tensions, Iran has called on the United Nations Security Council to label the United States and Israel as aggressors. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UNSC President Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, urging the Council to take action and hold accountable those behind recent attacks. 🚨
According to Araghchi, Israel’s actions – including alleged attacks targeting residential areas, civilians, and key infrastructure – amount to a blatant breach of international law. He also accused both Israel and the United States of striking Iran’s nuclear facilities, which are safeguarded by the International Atomic Energy Agency, in clear violation of treaties and UN resolutions.
The series of events has been nothing short of a real-life action movie. On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on several Iranian locations, including nuclear and military sites, resulting in heavy casualties. Iran quickly responded with waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel. Then on June 22, when U.S. forces bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran retaliated by striking the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. After 12 intense days of fighting, a ceasefire was reached, momentarily cooling down this high-stakes conflict. 🎬
This call at the UN highlights ongoing concerns over regional security and the need to uphold global norms. Stay tuned as this unfolding story continues to reshape international dynamics! 🌎
