Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reported to the United Nations that attacks on nuclear facilities in Natanz and near Bushehr constitute violations of international law. He characterized these attacks on peaceful nuclear sites as "war crimes and aggression against international peace," calling for the US and Israel to compensate Iran for the damages caused. In his message to the UN and Security Council member states, Araghchi warned that targeting these facilities could lead to widespread radioactive contamination and serious consequences for both the population and the environment.

Furthermore, Araghchi urged the UN Security Council to ensure that Israel is included in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. He called for international oversight of Israeli nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The longer, ongoing conflict that began on February 28 has resulted in numerous casualties, including prominent figures such as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security officials. In retaliation, Tehran has launched missiles and drones towards Israel, escalating tensions between the two nations.

This situation reflects the increasing volatility in the Middle East, as Iran asserts its position on nuclear rights while clashing with the military actions of Israel and the US. The implications of this demanding compensation might deteriorate diplomatic relations further and raise concerns over nuclear safety in the region, as both sides appear entrenched in their respective stances regarding military and nuclear capabilities.
