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.

    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?

          “also” is not used for whataboutism. The comment you responded to pointed out the hypocrisy in Iran’s position here while agreeing with the general point made. You, however, singled out one side, deflecting from crimes against humanity by the Iranian mullahs by considering the other side “the bigger evil”.

          I don’t even dispute that point. The problem is, the person you responded to never made a point of playing down Magastan / Israel war crimes. You don’t have a case here.

      Maybe there’s more than one problem, and none of the governments involved in this are the good guys.

      Yes, America and Israel are responsible for the current clusterfuck, but Iran’s government is still pretty fucking evil.

        Right, and America and Israel are literally more evil. Which governments do you have the most power to change? Do you get a vote in Iran?
