Sunday, 13 July 2025 11:39 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 13 July 2025 11:47 AM ]

According to the report, on the morning of June 13, Israel, led by a prime minister facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC), launched a premeditated, large-scale military attack on Iranian soil with the green light from the United States.

The aggression, the report notes, was carried out without provocation, in direct violation of the United Nations Charter, particularly Article 2(4), as well as numerous resolutions, including UNGA Resolution 2625 (XXV) and UNGA Resolution 3314 (XXIX).

As emphasized in the report, the Israeli regime conducted indiscriminate strikes on densely populated civilian areas, vital infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and non-combatants.

The result was hundreds of fatalities, thousands of injuries, and significant damage to the country’s medical, educational, and industrial facilities in civilian areas.

Citing Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran defends its retaliatory operations against the Israeli regime as lawful self-defense, limited to “military objectives within occupied territories.”

The exhaustive report details many specific attacks, including:

• The Shahid Chamran residential building in northern Tehran was targeted, where 60 civilians, including 20 children, were killed.
  
• Multiple airports—Mehrabad (Tehran), Hasheminejad (Mashhad), and Payam (Karaj)—were deliberately targeted.
  
• Hospitals and medical centers, including Hakim Children's Hospital in Tehran and Farabi Hospital in Kermanshah, were targeted, damaging intensive care units and ambulances.
  
• Media personnel were killed during an airstrike on Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB, during a live broadcast.
  
• Cultural sites, such as the Shahid Tondgooyan Monument, and
  
• essential utilities, including oil refineries, gas depots, and water pipelines, were struck, resulting in blackouts, floods, and environmental damage.
  

Among the dead were children, pregnant women, Red Crescent workers, and a two-month-old infant, Rayan Ghasemian, who died with 80 percent burns. Over 3,000 civilians have been injured to date, with more than 500 requiring surgeries.

Assassinations of military commanders and scientists

The report denounces Israel for carrying out terrorist assassinations, listing prominent Iranian military commanders and scientists assassinated in the recent aggression.

• Major General Mohammad Bagheri (chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces),
  
• Major General Hossein Salami (commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps)
  
• Major General Gholam Ali Rashid (commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters)
  
• Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh (commander of the IRGC aerospace division).
  

Top nuclear scientists, including

• Fereydoun Abbasi,
  
• Abdolhamid Minouchehr
  
• Dr. Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari
  
• Dr. Seyed Amir Hossein Feqhi
  
• Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi
  , etc.
  

Families of victims—including children, spouses, and elderly relatives—were also killed in these strikes.

Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and former top security official, survived with critical injuries.

Unlawful attacks on nuclear facilities
The regime deliberately targeted nuclear sites in Natanz, Arak, Qom, and Isfahan, despite all facilities being under UN nuclear agency safeguards and used for peaceful purposes.

These attacks, the report noted, violated:

• IAEA Statute
  
• NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty)
  
• UN Security Council Resolution 487
  
• Geneva Conventions
  

The report warns of grave environmental risks due to damage to these facilities and calls Israel’s actions an attack on international nuclear regulation and regional stability.

Cyberattacks and psychological warfare
In addition to military aggression, the Israeli regime also orchestrated cyberattacks on major Iranian banks (Sepah and Pasargad) and online exchanges like Nobitex, resulting in financial losses exceeding $60 million, the report notes.

On June 15, five car bombs exploded in Tehran, adding to “terror operations aimed at sowing fear among the civilian population,” it adds.
