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 dont think you have a clue back at you. Epstein’s industrial scale pedophilia with the elite, none of our leaders representing us at all, and open sponsoring of genocide by both political parties with US taxpayer dollars are all horrifically evil.

        Yeah come back to me when the US start murdering all internal opposition, torturing their leaders for years until they spontaneously confess their crimes against god on tv, openly encourages child rape, …

        There’s a lot to be said about the US but like I said elsewhere: if you’re worried about the things you’re calling out then the Iranian regime is like the twice-evolved version of that shit

          I guess its fair to say we should not measure ourselves by comparison-- we should measure ourselves against a standard of human dignity and some minimal baseline of human rights for all. And from there we’d have the standing to criticize others. Right now we (the US) doesnt have that so we should act with more humility until we do.

            If you feel you need to better yourself before you speak on these matters, I’m sure you’ll have your reasons. But know that every voice helps if we are to make this world a better place

          come back to me when the US start murdering all internal opposition

          What do you mean start? They already finished that, now you think democrats and republicans are opposed to each other. Fred Hampton, Kent state, MOVE, McCarthyism, Blair Mountain - the US already killed it’s internal opposition, and now has the leadership that results from that.

            Lol. The fact you need to think of these 50+ year old cases kinda illustrates my point. For Iranians, that’s like Tuesday. Before breakfast

              I don’t think you understand - there aren’t contemporary cases because theres no one left resisting. They killed all the actual opposition, and now Americans think protesting means holding a “no kings” party in the park and not disrupting anything or making any real demands. Social democrats are being held up as socialists because they fund enough community programs to keep capitalism limping along. The American government is more than happy to kill it’s internal opposition, but that requires internal opposition to kill.

                  Well i dont really but i know the US government imprisons more of its own citizens than any other country and our police kill about 1,000 people a year. How does Iran compare to that?

                    The US isn’t really numba one anymore but I agree that it’s a giant problem.

                    Iran doesn’t publish how many people their police murder, but they have around a 1,000 ‘legal’ executions per year. That would translate into roughly 200 times as many as the US

          I guess as long as the american government kill foreigners it is not s big deal. Only a big deal if you kill your own internal opposition

          I don’t care about your opinion, neither does my nation, whether I’m in line with the regime or not, also does not concern you, nor has any relevance to what I say. The US is the most evil imperialist force of all time, I’ve seen their bombs hit my city. We will never forget.

              Bruh what. You tried to frame the whole thing as a gotcha “you in line with the regime”, I said it doesn’t concern you as an outsider, whether I’m pro regime or anti regime, because fuck imperialism.

                Yeah ‘bruh’. If you honestly believe the Iranian regime should be excused for their all crimes because “they’re a developing country”, you don’t think that’s relevant?

                If you were born in the US with that mindset you’d probably be right there in that cockpit throwing those bombs on ‘the outsiders’.

        On the contrary. The Iranian regime is quite open on their evil shit tbh. They believe it’s their ticket to Heaven
