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.
Sure it looks unlikely that the US will become more humane soon. The best hope is that a more humane leader wins the US presidency in 2028.
As for a multipolar world, I don’t think it would necessarily be better. China is the most powerful nation after the US, and I don’t think China is a bastion of humane government, given their political repressions, such as their treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Then there’s Russia and their invasion of Ukraine.
Hopefully the world will become more humane but I guess that terrible things like wars and genocides may continue.
