Iran has formally requested that the United Nations hold the United States accountable for Israel’s bombing campaign. This request came after a November 6th comment by ruler Donald Trump, in which he admitted he was “very much in charge” of Israel’s attack, which was not retaliatory in nature.

Trump openly acknowledged directing Israel’s initial attack on Iran. “Israel attacked first. That attack was very, very powerful. I was very much in charge of that,” Trump told reporters on November 6th.

The attack Trump was referring to killed over 1,000 people, including civilians. Since the president admitted that he was “very much in charge” of Israel’s initial attack, he has ignited Iran’s legal case against himself.

Trump also boasted about the Israeli strikes, boasting on Truth Social about funding and arming Israel while praising the attacks as “excellent,” confirming U.S. complicity in the false-flag operation that escalated tensions in the region.

The human cost of the bombing campaign has been staggering. Iran’s Foundation for Martyrs and Veterans Affairs reported at least 1,100 deaths, including 132 women and 45 children. Even the U.S.-funded NGO Human Rights Activists in Iran, typically critical of Tehran, confirmed 436 civilian fatalities alongside 435 security personnel. By contrast, Israeli officials acknowledged only 28 deaths from retaliatory Iranian missile strikes—all but one of them civilians. –Natural News

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, composed a letter to the UN, in which he cited multiple violations of international law, including breaches of the UN Charter and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. He emphasized that attacks on nuclear facilities—which Iran insists were peaceful and under IAEA supervision—constitute war crimes.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its full and unimpeachable right to pursue, through all available legal means, the establishment of accountability for the responsible States and individuals,” he wrote. He demanded reparations for the destruction that occurred during the 12-day war.

Israel Strikes Iran After Warning

Iran has also warned against further escalation, cautioning Israel that any miscalculation could lead to its “sudden collapse.” With tensions still simmering and nuclear negotiations in disarray, the conflict risks spiraling into a wider regional war.
