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 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
