Tehran has asked the U.N. to recognize Israel and the United States as responsible for the 12-day war against Iran that ended on June 24 with a cease-fire, according to a letter released Sunday addressed to the United Nations Secretary-General.

"We officially request the Security Council to recognize the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and to recognize their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations," wrote Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in this letter addressed to Antonio Guterres.
