Araghchi says US attacks on Iran violate international law Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US attacks on “vital infrastructure” and threats to attack bridges and power plants show “the criminal intent of the US ruling body to commit heinous crimes". US attacks are “undoubtedly a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law," Araghchi said in a statement on Telegram. The minister said they amount to “serious international crimes” under the fundamental principles of international criminal law, including the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, and called on all governments "to prosecute and punish those who commit such crimes”.

Araghchi also accused American officials of “absurd rhetoric and diabolical threats” amid increased US attacks on Iran.
