New york: Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has issued a call to the United Nations Secretary-General and the Security Council, urging them to hold the United States and Israel accountable for what he terms as ‘gross violations’ and crimes against international peace and security.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, in a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Ant³nio Guterres and the Security Council on November 11, 2025, Araghchi emphasized the necessity for the UN to implement measures to ensure accountability for the United States and Israel. He highlighted the need for justice for perpetrators of these alleged crimes, citing the US’s requirement to provide full reparation under international law for the damages incurred.

The letter references previous communications and outlines specific incidents between June 13 and June 24, 2025, which Iran claims were acts of aggression by both the United States and Israel. These incidents reportedly led to the loss of over 1,100 lives and significant injuries, alongside attacks on civilian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities. Iran asserts these actions were in violation of international law and various UN resolutions.

Araghchi’s letter also points to a public statement by the US President on November 6, 2025, which acknowledged the US’s involvement in the actions attributed to Israel. Iran interprets this as evidence of US direction and control over the alleged unlawful acts, thereby attributing responsibility to both nations.

The call for accountability includes a demand for the United States to compensate for both material and moral damages. Additionally, Iran claims the US President and other officials bear individual criminal responsibility for breaches of international humanitarian law.

In conclusion, Iran seeks the UN’s intervention to maintain international peace and security and to bring those responsible to justice. The letter requests the circulation of this document as an official record of the Security Council.
