Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has asked for an emergency Security Council meeting for what he described as the US’s “heinous attacks and illegal use of force” against Iran.

In a letter, obtained by AP on Sunday, Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani, said that the UN’s most powerful body must “take all necessary measures” to hold the US accountable.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns and denounces in the strongest possible terms these unprovoked and premeditated acts of aggression, which have followed the large-scale military attack conducted by the Israeli regime on 13 June against Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites and facilities,” the letter continued.
