Iran asks UN to hold US accountable for directing Israel's summer strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called for the United Nations to impose "appropriate measures" against the United States and Israel over military

strikes in June against Iran's nuclear sites.



Araghchi said that President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials bear "criminal responsibility" for the strikes after Trump's statement last week that he directed Israel's initial attack on Iran on June 13.



In a letter on Wednesday to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the U.N. Security Council, Araghchi said Israel and the United States must be subject to reparations, including restitution and compensation for the damage caused in Iran.



Spokespersons for the U.S. mission to the U.N. and for Guterres' office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.



Trump told reporters on November 6 that he was "very much in charge" of Israel's initial strike on Iran.
