A letter from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asks the council to “compel the aggressors to immediately cease all unlawful attacks” and make them pay reparations for damage to Iran’s nuclear and other sites. Iran’s main enrichment site, Natanz, was struck again Saturday.
The UN’s most powerful body has voted to condemn Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Gulf neighbors but the resolution didn’t mention the strikes from Israel and the US that launched the war.
The letter also urges the council to make Israel place its own nuclear facilities under “verification and monitoring” of the UN nuclear watchdog. Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, though it doesn’t confirm or deny their existence.
