Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has called for sweeping legal action against the United States and Israel, accusing both countries of committing war crimes during the recent conflict and urging Iranian authorities to pursue thousands of cases in domestic and international courts.
In a series of posts on X marking Iran's National Week of the Judiciary, Khamenei said statements by American and Israeli leaders acknowledging military operations against Iran amounted to admissions of wrongdoing that could strengthen Tehran's legal case.
"The confessions and even brazen boasting of some of the leaders of the US-Zionist enemy regarding these crimes are indisputably an admission of crime, and these effectively pave the way for the vindication of the Iranian nation's rights that have been violated," Khamenei wrote.
