Iran’s Judiciary chief vows to prosecute war criminals over attacks on Iran

Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Eje’i says Iran is determined to prosecute those responsible for war crimes committed by the United States and the Israeli regime against the nation.

Speaking at a meeting with a group of international lawyers and legal experts experienced in pursuing war crimes cases against Israeli officials, Mohseni Eje’i said Iran is actively following up on legal cases related to the recent wars.

“We are determined to prosecute and punish the war criminals. They must be punished in proportion to their crimes and compensate for the damages they have caused,” he noted.

Reaffirming Tehran’s backing for the people of Gaza and Lebanon, Mohseni Eje’i said Iran supports oppressed people regardless of their religion or ethnicity.

He denounced Israel for committing decades of crimes against Palestinians and Lebanese people, saying Iran would continue to support efforts aimed at confronting Israeli aggression.

The Judiciary chief also criticized a global media campaign by Western powers to distort facts and misrepresent justice.

He urged international lawyers and human rights advocates to work together to expose war crimes and prevent political influence from obstructing justice in international courts.

“The voice of truth cannot be silenced,” Mohseni Eje’i said, adding that material power cannot ultimately overcome justice.

He acknowledged that major powers wield influence over international institutions but said Iran would continue pursuing legal action until those responsible are held to account.

Mohseni Eje’i also called for exposing international criminals “in the court of public opinion,” saying their actions should be documented and presented to people around the world.

Referring to the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, he said Iranians remain committed to seeking justice for those killed.

“We will not forget avenging our martyred Imam,” Mohseni Eje’i said, making a reference to the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

He added that Iran would continue pursuing international legal action against those responsible and would seek compensation for the losses inflicted on the Iranian nation.

In Judiciary Week message, Leader orders legal pursuit of US-Israeli war crimes against Iran

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei has called on Iran’s Judiciary to pursue and restore the nation’s rights that have been violated as a result of the US-Israeli wars of aggression since last year.

The war against Iran began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched a joint aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On the first day of the war, US and Israeli strikes assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei and targeted nuclear facilities, military installations, and key infrastructure across the country.

The war, which lasted 40 days, resulted in thousands of casualties and widespread destruction of civilian and scientific infrastructure.

Following Iran’s retaliatory strikes and its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire agreement was reached on April 8.

On June 17, Iran and the US signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding outlining a path toward a final peace deal.

The agreement committed the US to lifting its naval blockade within 30 days, allowed Iran access to frozen assets, and established a 60-day window to negotiate a final agreement.
