Following the devastating Israeli’s airstrikes on Tehran on June 13, 2025, which tragically claimed the lives of top military officials and nuclear scientists, Iran has unequivocally declared the United States to be directly responsible for this aggression. This powerful accusation underscores the severe escalation of tensions in the Middle East and highlights Iran’s perception of Washington’s role as the primary enabler of Israeli actions.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a strong statement asserting Iran’s inherent right to respond to what it views as a blatant violation of the UN Charter and an egregious act of aggression against its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This declaration comes in the wake of the confirmed martyrdom of key figures such as IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, General Gholam Ali Rashid, and nuclear scientists Dr. Tehranchi and Fereydoun Abbasi, all casualties of the coordinated Israeli strikes.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had already vowed “severe punishment” for the Zionist regime, and the Foreign Ministry’s statement further amplified this resolve, explicitly stating that the United States, as Israel’s chief supporter, will bear the responsibility for any “dangerous consequences” stemming from Israel’s actions. This position indicates that Iran sees the recent attacks not merely as actions by Israel, but as part of a broader hostile policy supported by the U.S.
The context of these accusations is particularly fraught, given that the strikes occurred just before a crucial round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the U.S. in Oman. This development has further complicated diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and address Iran’s nuclear program. The international community watches closely as Iran deliberates its response, with the specter of a wider regional conflict looming large, fueled by the direct attribution of responsibility to the United States for the recent aggression.
