Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi demands that Israel be "punished for its war crimes" against the Islamic Republic.
The bombings of fuel depots in Tehran by Israeli authorities “violate international law and constitute ecocide,” he posted on X.
Araghchi warned the attacks could leave lasting environmental damage, threatening residents’ health and contaminating soil and groundwater for generations.
Earlier, Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani formally lodged a complaint with the UN after attacks on fuel storage facilities caused toxic air and acidic rain, posing grave health risks for civilians.
