TEHRAN, Iran — Iran demands that the United Nations recognize Israel and the United States as being to blame for their recent 12-day war, in a letter to the secretary-general published today.
“We officially request hereby that the Security Council recognise the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and acknowledge their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi writes in the letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
