Tehran initiates legal process in int’l courts against Israel-US strikes
Iran’s Vice President for Legal Affairs Majid Ansari announced on Saturday that the country’s legal authorities have launched the process of filing legal complaints against Israel and the United States in international courts over their aggression against the Islamic Republic in June.
Ansari noted that the strikes by Israel and the US on Iran, which targeted civilian places, hospitals, universities, journalists and nuclear facilities, have violated various international legal conventions and requires its own specific legal follow-up.
“Each of these illegal acts has its own regulations and conventions, and for this reason, we will pursue them from different legal angles.”
The Iranian official stressed that the process is complex and due to the good coordination and cooperation among the country’s legal bodies, “We hope to achieve justice for the Iranian nation in this regard.”
On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the terrorist assault.
