Iran warned it would take action against Israel and hold the US “legally responsible” if the Jewish state acts on reported plans to attack the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities.

In a letter addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Director-General of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged them to take “effective measures” against “Israeli threats.”
