He added that physical and psychological damages “inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd and 3rd imposed wars, from child killings and war crimes in Minab and Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic and international courts.”

He further stated that from the “murder” of newborns and the elderly to the assassination of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “each is a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic and international courts”.

“What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds,” he asserted.

Never in my life could I have expected to agree with the Iranian government. But, on this specific issue? I do. There needs to be accountability for this.

    I dont think you have a clue back at you. Epstein’s industrial scale pedophilia with the elite, none of our leaders representing us at all, and open sponsoring of genocide by both political parties with US taxpayer dollars are all horrifically evil.

      Yeah come back to me when the US start murdering all internal opposition, torturing their leaders for years until they spontaneously confess their crimes against god on tv, openly encourages child rape, …

      There’s a lot to be said about the US but like I said elsewhere: if you’re worried about the things you’re calling out then the Iranian regime is like the twice-evolved version of that shit

        What do you mean start? They already finished that, now you think democrats and republicans are opposed to each other. Fred Hampton, Kent state, MOVE, McCarthyism, Blair Mountain - the US already killed it’s internal opposition, and now has the leadership that results from that.

          Lol. The fact you need to think of these 50+ year old cases kinda illustrates my point. For Iranians, that’s like Tuesday. Before breakfast

            I don’t think you understand - there aren’t contemporary cases because theres no one left resisting. They killed all the actual opposition, and now Americans think protesting means holding a “no kings” party in the park and not disrupting anything or making any real demands. Social democrats are being held up as socialists because they fund enough community programs to keep capitalism limping along. The American government is more than happy to kill it’s internal opposition, but that requires internal opposition to kill.

        I guess as long as the american government kill foreigners it is not s big deal. Only a big deal if you kill your own internal opposition

        I guess its fair to say we should not measure ourselves by comparison-- we should measure ourselves against a standard of human dignity and some minimal baseline of human rights for all. And from there we’d have the standing to criticize others. Right now we (the US) doesnt have that so we should act with more humility until we do.

          If you feel you need to better yourself before you speak on these matters, I’m sure you’ll have your reasons. But know that every voice helps if we are to make this world a better place

            Using your voice to criticize to justify war doesn’t make the world a better place.

            War ends up causing more oppression to minority and vulnerable groups than just about the absolute worst circumstances. Samantha powers doctrine, which you are espousing, made the world a much much worse place for the people she claimed to want too help. You’re doing the same.

            You NOT lending your voice to these justifications of war crimes would make the world a better place.

              If you feel like you can’t ever speak out about anything outside your own country, I don’t think that helps. It’s good to be as critical towards your own country, of course, but I don’t think that should be an excuse not to lend your mind and voice to all the wrongs going on elsewhere

                Fine. Stop lending your voice to justifying war. It is evil, and won’t accomplish what you want. If you find your message being used to justify war, stop immediately.

                To be clear, while this SHOULD be a moral argument, it isn’t. This, at this point, is a pure effectiveness argument. The second your voice is being used to justify war, you will not accomplish what you hope.
