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.

    I agree, but you should also pay for killing women for not wearing hijab.

      The western leaders should be tried for crimes against humanity at the Hague. Don’t you think indiscriminate bombing, genocide, and child sex trafficking are a bigger problem?

              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.

      There is already sanctions on Iran related to human right abuses by countries backing a genocidal state with weapons and diplomatic protection. Israel and the usa are the countries that are not getting punished

    The regime that slaughters and oppresses its own people so heavily is going to have a tough time here, even though the US is guilty of what they accuse.

      The messenger is awful

      I’ll take ten Mojtaba Khameneis over one Pete Hegseth. Hell, I’ll take a Khamenei over Keir Starmer, at this point.

      Of course, he’s little more than a figurehead under the current Iranian government, given that their Parliament can’t safely convene and their military is fully operating via the Mosaic Strategy of decentralized retaliation against ongoing US/Israeli bombardment. I’m not sure why people have decided he’s a bad leader, given that he hasn’t made any meaningful leadership decisions since taking office.

      But I guess he’s Muslim and unseasonably tan, so that’s enough to make him a bad guy.

        The Iranian regime are misogynistic, homophobic warmongers.

        A female singer was recently whipped for openly singing without a hair covering.

        The urban Iranians have been calling for these leeches to fuck off for years and are murdered en-masse for standing up to them as a result and their dead cold bodies hung from street lights as a warning to everyone else. We have seen huge mass demonstrations constantly attacked by the regime’s thugs on motorbikes.

        Israel and the US were wrong to attack Iran back in March, and were wrong to have murdered anyone. They are equally violent, warmongering murderous regimes probably more so.

        But let’s not infantilise the Iranian islamic regime and system, it’s a system where a violent, corrupt theocracy that refuses to listen to its own people.

            I don’t actually believe this is true but I’m willing to reconsider if there’s actual proof. If he’s actually a pedophile I’d advocate for his killing as I do for everyone who hurts kids.

        I’m not sure why people have decided he’s a bad leader, given that he hasn’t made any meaningful leadership decisions since taking office.

        Probably something to do with the fact that he was in a position to become the leader of such a repressive government to begin with. Maybe he will break with past policies and be a champion for women’s rights and LGBTQ+ causes, but if someone was already tipped to take over the reigns of such a government, I assume vetting processes mean he’s generally onboard with what the government was doing beforehand unless I see them taking actions that show otherwise. At this point, who knows how he’ll be, as he’s been set up with something of a PR softball in responding to an aggressive war lead by Israel and the US. Postwar, we’ll see how he shakes out domestically.

        That said, I’m still hoping the Iranians just trounce their enemies in this conflict. Whether he’ll ultimately represent an improvement for the Iranian people over his predecessor or not has nothing to do with the fact that he’s on the right side of the current conflict and crushing it at the moment.

          I think it’s a trap to think of countries which haven’t been allowed to thrive by basically the entire west as failing on values that they virtually never think about. Is it really that surprising that sanctions lead to regression or stagnation on civil rights of minority groups? They have been under sanctions since 1979. In 1979 how did our LGBTQ+ representation look?

            How do sanctions prevent civil rights? That’s kind of a nonsense connection, do you have any actual direct evidence of such a connection and I’m pretty sure it’s in this case pretty much totally related to the regressive theocratic regime. Sanctions aren’t forcing this regressive theocratic discrimination, the regressive theocratic culture is. Admittedly sanctions created conditions for them to take power but they were already there already discriminating to the best of their power.

                Yes and that obviously directly causes a violent regressive patriarchal theocratic dictatorship, thanks for explaining! Give your fuckin balls a tug.

                  Because the dictatorship thrives when its people are poorer, people with no food and shelter are just going to shut the fuck up and do what the dictator says to survive.
