At UN, Iran accuses US of being complicit in Israeli strikesIran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative Amir Saeid Iravani delivers his remarks after attending a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, following Israel’s attack on Iran, at UN headquarters in New York City, US, June 13, 2025. Iran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel late on Friday after Israel attacked Iran earlier in the day. Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said Iran had been "preparing for war" and Israel's strikes were "an act of national preservation". "Those who support this regime, with the United States at the forefront, must understand that they are complicit," Iravani told the Security Council. While Washington was informed of Israel's initial strikes ahead of time it was not militarily involved, he said.
