Iran says that the U.S. must be held accountable for the Israeli attack

Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador in Tehran to deliver a warning to the United States, accusing Washington of complicity in the Israeli attack.

“It is unthinkable that the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime against Iran have been carried out without the cooperation, coordination, and at least a green light from the U.S., and in this regard, the U.S. must be held accountable for its illegal behavior in this respect,” said the Iranian representative to Nadine Lozano, the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, according to a statement published by the state agency IRNA.

Iran also warned against any U.S. support for Israel during Tehran's response, “including preventing Iran from exercising its right to legitimate defense,” said the statement.

The U.S. and Iran have no diplomatic relations, and Switzerland acts as the official representative of U.S. interests in the country.
