Iran considering legal action after Trump admits he was 'very much in charge' of Israel's attack: Video
Iran has warned it may take legal action against the United States following US President Donald Trump’s claim that he oversaw Israel’s attack on Iran earlier this year.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said in Tehran on Monday, November 10, that the remarks amounted to “clear evidence” of Washington’s involvement in the strike, which ignited a 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel.
“Surely this confession will be used as clear evidence of America’s participation in this act of aggression in any court,” Baqaei stated, adding that Tehran was documenting what it calls joint military aggression by Israel and the United States. He said Iran was reviewing “all possible international legal avenues to seek justice and file a lawsuit against the United States.”
Trump, speaking to reporters last Thursday, said he “took charge” of the Israeli operation.
“Israel attacked first… that attack was very, very powerful. I was very much in charge of that when Israel attacked Iran first,” he said, describing the strike as a “great day for Israel.”
The comments contradict previous statements by US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had insisted Israel acted independently.
Iran has since sent a formal letter to the UN Security Council condemning Trump’s comments as “clear and unambiguous proof of US involvement,” saying they invalidate earlier US denials.
