TEHRAN — Iran’s Supreme Leader has called for international war crimes charges against the United States and Israel, accusing both countries of responsibility for military actions that Tehran says violated international law.
The remarks come as regional tensions remain high following recent conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States. Iranian officials have repeatedly argued that attacks on Iranian territory and civilian infrastructure should be investigated under international humanitarian law.
The statement adds to Tehran’s broader diplomatic campaign seeking legal accountability through international institutions. Israel and the United States have consistently rejected Iran’s accusations, while both governments have defended their military actions as legitimate responses to security threats.
International legal scrutiny over the Middle East conflict has intensified in recent years, with multiple international bodies examining allegations involving different parties to the conflicts. Various investigations and legal proceedings related to alleged violations of international law remain ongoing.
