Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei says that the country’s most pressing legal challenge is pursuing the rights violated by “international criminals and global aggressors”, Iran’s Press TV reports.

“The blood of those killed in the two wars of aggression against Iran – waged by the United States and Israel in June 2025 and February 2026 – together with the physical, psychological, material, and spiritual damage inflicted on Iran and its people inside and outside the country, forms the basis for hundreds or even thousands of significant legal cases,” the supreme leader was quoted as saying.

“What is certain is that the criminals must be brought to justice and made to face the consequences of their criminal acts.”
