TEHRAN -- Iran has condemned the recent Israeli and U.S. military actions against the country, demanding that the international community take steps to hold both regimes accountable for violating Iran’s sovereignty. 
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the attacks as unlawful acts of aggression and pledged that Tehran would seek to have the aggressors recognized and pursue compensation through international channels.
Araghchi’s comments came during a phone call with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, where they discussed the broader implications of the conflict and bilateral relations. 
The Iranian minister called on the United Nations and the global community to take concrete steps to ensure that Israel and the U.S. face consequences for their actions.
Araghchi pointed to Israel’s airstrikes on June 13, which targeted key military and nuclear sites in Iran, and which he described as a direct violation of Iran’s territorial integrity. 
Araghchi also thanked Armenia for its support during the conflict, particularly in assisting with consular matters related to Iranian citizens impacted by the war.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to pursuing its right to seek justice and compensation,” Araghchi stated, reinforcing Iran’s stance that the aggressors should be held accountable in international forums.
Ararat Mirzoyan, in his conversation with Araghchi, condemned the military actions by Israel and the U.S. and expressed hope that the cessation of hostilities would lead to greater stability in the region. Both ministers agreed that reducing tensions and avoiding further escalation were crucial for peace.
In Geneva, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Ali Bahreini also condemned Israeli and U.S. military aggression against Iran as violations of international law and human rights, calling on the United Nations to hold both regimes accountable.
Speaking at the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Bahreini referred to the attacks, which took place between June 13 and June 24, as a “blatant act of aggression.” 
He said the strikes resulted in the martyrdom of hundreds of Iranian civilians, including women and children, and caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, medical facilities, and Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites.
Bahreini hit out at Israel for deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure with direct U.S. support in violation of international law. 
“The Islamic Republic of Iran does not accept human rights recommendations from these countries due to their hypocrisy,” he added, referring to Western nations that have been largely silent on Israel’s actions.
The Iranian ambassador also reiterated Iran’s right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, stating that Tehran would not wait for external support to protect its sovereignty. “We will stand against the Zionist regime’s aggression,” Bahreini declared.
The conflict began when Israel launched a series of unprovoked airstrikes on June 13, martyring senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists and targeting nuclear and military facilities. In retaliation, Iran’s military launched over 500 ballistic missiles and 1,100 drones at Israeli-occupied territories, dealing heavy blows to the regime.
On June 22, the United States joined the Israeli assault, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites, a move that Tehran described as a breach of the UN Charter and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The 12-day conflict ended when Israel, suffering heavy losses, agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States.
Bahreini called on the UN Security Council to strongly condemn the actions of both Israel and the U.S., for violating Iran’s sovereignty. He also proposed the establishment of a commission to investigate the role of countries that support Israel in committing war crimes.
Iran has further demanded that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights issue a formal condemnation of the attacks and call for accountability from Israel and the U.S. for their role in destabilizing the region and endangering global peace.
The escalation of violence has sparked concerns about the long-term stability of West Asia and the potential for wider international repercussions. Both military and diplomatic efforts will be critical in addressing the growing tensions.
