Iran Files Legal Report on U.S.-Israeli Aggression With UN
TEHRAN — A senior official has affirmed the Islamic Republic’s commitment to pursuing legal action following recent U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, made the remarks in an interview with the official website of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on the sidelines of a Tehran ceremony marking the 40th day memorial of martyrs from last month’s 12-day conflict.
Gharibabadi emphasized that the legal follow-up is a key component of Iran’s response, calling the U.S.-Israeli strikes a violation of international law, the UN Charter, and human rights.
Two detailed reports documenting the legal breaches and civilian casualties, including women and children, have been finalized and submitted to the UN Security Council and other international bodies, he said.
“The aggressors received a firm response on the ground, but now the focus is on legal recourse,” Gharibabadi stated. “The documentation process is near completion, with comprehensive reports officially registered at the United Nations.”
He acknowledged the challenges posed by political biases in the international arena but insisted that Iran would continue its legal efforts regardless of the outcome.
“The first step is to document and file formal complaints. If these efforts yield results, it will be positive. If not, the work remains a priority for the Islamic Republic,” Gharibabadi added.
