Iran has asked the UN to hold the U.S. and Israel accountable for June’s strikes on its nuclear sites, citing Donald Trump’s admission of directing Israel’s initial attack.
00:00Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi has called on the United Nations to take action against the U.S. and Israel over strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.
00:10He says President Donald Trump and senior U.S. officials bear criminal responsibility, pointing to Trump's recent claim that he directed Israel's initial strike on June 13.
00:19In a letter to the U.N. Secretary-General and the Security Council, Arachi demanded both countries be held accountable and pay reparations for the damaged cost.
00:32Trump said on November 6 that he had been very much in charge of Israel's strikes on Iran.
00:37Arachi argued this demonstrated direct U.S. control throughout the 12-day air campaign.
00:42He said the evidence strengthened claims of war crimes by those who planned or supported the attacks, including Israeli officials.
00:49Iranian state media reported more than 900 deaths from the strikes, including Iranian military personnel.
