Iranian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani said that Israel's Friday attacks against Iran were carried out with US support and amount to a declaration of war.

"Israeli officials say that this aggression aims to wreck nuclear talks. This confession alone is enough to reveal the real motive behind the attack: to kill diplomacy," Amir Saeid said.

"... we will not forget that our people lost their lives as [a] result of the Israeli attacks with American weapons. These actions amount to a declaration of war. They are the latest in a long and well-documented pattern of lawless, destabilizing, and aggressive behavior by the Israeli regime, a regime that acts with impunity because it is shielded by powerful allies. This must end," he added during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

Iran's envoy said that at least 78 people were killed as a result of Israel's strikes against Iran, while 320 others were injured, an overwhelming majority of them civilians.
