Iran has formally requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council to condemn recent US airstrikes targeting its nuclear facilities.
In a letter issued Sunday, Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, described the attacks as a “grave threat against regional and international peace and security.” He confirmed that the strikes targeted key nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in the early hours of the morning.

Iravani also alleged that the attacks took place “under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” though no evidence was provided to support this claim. Iran has voiced increasing criticism of the IAEA amid escalating tensions with Israel.
Calling the strikes a violation of the UN Charter and the international Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran urged the Security Council to convene an urgent session to “examine this unlawful act, adopt necessary measures to condemn it, and ensure that those responsible will not be left unpunished.”
