In the aftermath of a 12-day military campaign that Iran says claimed more than 900 lives, Tehran has carried its grievance to the highest international forum available — the United Nations. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, armed with President Trump's own acknowledgment of directing the strikes, is asking the world to name what Iran calls a war crime and to make its perpetrators pay. The appeal is both a demand for justice and a signal that, even in the shadow of conflict, Iran has not entirely abandoned the language of diplomacy.
