India, June 29 -- Iran on Sunday submitted a formal request to the United Nations, calling on the Security Council to hold Israel and the United States responsible for the recent 12-day conflict between Tel Aviv and Tehran.

"We officially request hereby that the Security Council recognise the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and acknowledge their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations," the letter read.
