• Iran's military leader expresses doubts on Israel's ceasefire compliance.
• Iran demands the UN recognize Israel and the US as initiators of the conflict.
• The 12-day war resulted in significant civilian casualties and destruction.
• Iran is prepared for retaliatory measures if Israel breaches the ceasefire.

Iran's Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, has voiced serious doubts regarding Israel's adherence to the ceasefire that aims to end recent hostilities. During a conversation with Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister, Mousavi stated, "Since we are completely doubtful about the enemy's adherence to its commitments, including the ceasefire, we are prepared to give it a strong response if it repeats the aggression," emphasizing Iran's readiness to retaliate if attacked again, according to IndiaTimes and TRT Global.

In light of the conflict, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has formally requested the United Nations Security Council to identify Israel and the US as the initiators of the 12-day war, which began with Israeli airstrikes on June 13. In his letter, he argued that these nations should be held responsible for their actions, urging, "The Security Council should also hold the aggressors accountable and prevent the recurrence of such heinous and serious crimes," according to AA and Channel News Asia.

The recent conflict has resulted in substantial civilian casualties; Iran's Health Ministry reports at least 606 people were killed and 5,332 were injured due to the bombings. In retaliation, Iranian missile strikes claimed 29 lives and injured more than 3,400 in Israel. The fighting has had consequences for nuclear negotiations, further complicating an already tense geopolitical landscape, as noted by IndiaTimes and TRT Global.

Mousavi's comments and Araghchi's UN appeal reflect Iran's broader concerns about Israel's military intentions, as the latter has not only launched airstrikes but has also involved the US military in targeting key Iranian sites during this conflict. The ongoing tensions have derailed potential diplomatic dialogues and raised alarms about further military confrontations in the region, according to AA and IndiaTimes.
