Iran warns neighbors against allowing Israeli attacks

A special committee under Iran’s presidential legal affairs office is compiling evidence of Israeli attacks to present to international authorities, including human rights bodies, the UN Security Council, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, Iran’s foreign ministry said on Monday.

“Israel’s actions constitute an act of aggression under international law, involving multiple war crimes,” Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said at a weekly briefing.

“We are documenting crimes committed by a regime officially recognized internationally as an apartheid entity, which is subject to prosecution by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The recent actions against Iran have clearly added to its record of crimes. We are pursuing this matter seriously.”

The recent IAEA report provided a pretext for Israeli and US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and led to a resolution by the Board of Governors, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Monday.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has clear technical duties and its director general must avoid political influence,” Esmaeil Baqaei said.

“While Iran continues to address agency performance issues with relevant bodies, these should not overshadow the core issue—the illegality of Israel and the US’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites.”

Germany and France’s positions on Israel’s aggression against Iran are “definitely unacceptable,” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday.

Recent German officials’ remarks will leave a “historic and eternal shame” on Germany, he added.

Baghaei called the use of language “reminiscent of Nazi-era justifications” and urged the German public and international community to hold their leaders accountable.

Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt expressed support for Israel’s recent attacks on Iran during a visit to Israel on Sunday.

The ceasefire ending 12 days of conflict between the Islamic Republic and Israel is not anchored in any formal international legal framework, making its stability questionable, reformist Iranian daily Shargh wrote in a report on Monday.

“The ceasefire is not based on any international legal standards, regulations, or the rules of official global organizations and institutions,” the newspaper added.

“In fact, it is a temporary and ambiguous ceasefire, and there can be no serious certainty about its durability.”

Iran’s judiciary chief on Monday criticized US President Donald Trump, calling him “vile, wicked, and two-faced.”

“Trump does not value his own personality and does not care if he contradicts himself at any moment,” Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said.

Ruhollah Khomeini and current Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have both warned that the United States cannot be trusted, he added.

“The deceitful enemy may change its stance again,” he said.
