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.

    Are you implying that Iran is doing a genocide!? Get the UN on the phone they’re gonna wanna hear this breaking news!

    As for indiscriminate bombing, absolutely not, lmao every action they’ve done in this war has been targeted.

    As for child sex trafficking, THEY ARE FIGHTING THE EPSTEIN GOVERNMENT.

      Honest question at this point: do you think Iran as a nation never existed before the us and israel decided to invade them?

      Saying the US threw themselves into a war to distract from the epstein files, or that the current administration (ok lets be honest,the nation state for a long fuckin’ time) commits crimes against humanity is one thing. Claiming that only the US has ever commited humans rights violations is just…wat

      Call the US shitbags for what they do. But don’t pretend Iran is a lily white innocent dove here. Especially when it comes to trafficking and sexual abuse

        The US is, and has been for a long time, the greatest source of death and misery in the world. Even before this, it can easily be argued that without US interference and aggression Iran would be a happier, freer place.

          no kidding. But we cannot pretend they are the only source. Bouncing from broken system to broken system gets us nowhere

            Who’s talking about bouncing from system to system? Imperial forces need to stop fucking with countries, and let them develop their societies themselves. All the bombing, sanctions etc will only continue to hamper natural political development. The current geopolitical balance is exactly what gets us nowhere. At least nowhere good.

          true, but I don’t see how that actually answers the question posited. Iran has committed numerous human rights violations on their accord. They shot over thirty six thousand of their own people in January.

            What question posited? Whether Iran existed as a nation before earlier this year? I’m really struggling to understand your point. It seems to me that you would like to decontextualize Iran. History matters, and you will never understand the present without studying the past.

              Right, but the original thread wasn’t discussing history, was it? That was a goal post move.

              More than one thing can be correct. And in this case, the Israelis and US do not need to be in Iran, but this does not negate the ridiculousness of making a comment like “Don’t you think indiscriminate bombing, genocide, and child sex trafficking are a bigger problem?” when both sides commit these exact crimes.

                Again, you are distorting and decontextualizing. Both-sidesing like this flattens the reality of the situation, and only serves to justify the status quo. If you care about the problems in Iran, your very first concern should be ending the imperial wars and sanctions against them. Otherwise what is the point of this conversation? I’m here in the US. I presume that you are also in a country that provides material support to Israel or is otherwise directly attacking Iran. What can we do about Iranian problems? We can support the status quo of starving and bombing them, or we can be against it.
