New york: Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has condemned US President Donald Trump’s recent admission regarding the United States’ involvement in the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran. In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the President of the UN Security Council, Michael Imran Kanu, Iravani argues that Trump’s acknowledgment constitutes a criminal act, providing clear and undeniable evidence of the United States’ international responsibility for these aggressive actions.
According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the letter draws attention to a statement made by President Trump, where he publicly acknowledged his leadership and the United States’ responsibility for the twelve-day aggression and criminal war committed by Israel against Iran from June 13 to 24, 2025. Trump reportedly stated, “Israel attacked first. That attack was very, very powerful. I was very much in charge of that,” adding that the initial attack
by Israel was significant for their strategic advantage.
The letter claims that Trump’s statement is irrefutable evidence of the direct involvement and command responsibility of the United States in orchestrating and enabling Israel’s military actions. These actions are said to violate Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against sovereign states, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to Iran’s infrastructure, including nuclear facilities.
Furthermore, the letter highlights the contradiction between Trump’s admission and earlier statements by the US Secretary of State, who denied involvement in strikes against Iran. Iran asserts that this admission places full responsibility on the United States and Israel for the aggression and its consequences, including loss of life and destruction of property.
Iran insists on its sovereign right to pursue international legal avenues to hold the United States accountable and seek reparations for the damages and losses suffered
. The letter requests that it be circulated as an official document of the Security Council.
