Iran has announced the creation of a special working group to pursue cases related to the 12-day Israel-Iran War in international forums, the regime’s news agency IRNA reported on Saturday.
The news agency stated the cases are “related to the Israeli and US aggressions against Iran in international forums.”
Iranian politician Majid Ansari made the announcement in a message on Saturday, while also congratulating the families of those who lost their lives during the conflict.
Ansari, who serves on Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and holds the position of vice president for legal affairs, stated that a decision had been made to establish a group composed of leading legal scholars and experts.
The purpose of this group, he said, is to thoroughly assess both the military actions that resulted in the targeted killings of senior officials, scientists, and civilians, as well as breaches of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He noted that the newly formed working group would focus on examining the legal dimensions of what he described as clear acts of aggression by Israel against Iran.
In his statement, Ansari stressed the importance of systematically recording the alleged war crimes and acts of aggression by Israel and the United States.
He said the Iranian government would utilize all legal mechanisms at its disposal to protect the rights of its people.
Alleged violations of IAEA charter
According to Ansari, the group will collaborate with other relevant entities to investigate attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, actions he claimed violate the International Atomic Energy Agency’s charter, as well as strikes on civilian infrastructure, including homes, schools, hospitals, media outlets, and public services.
On Saturday, Iran also marked the funerals of some of those killed by Israel in the conflict, including military commanders and nuclear scientists.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry hailed the crowds who turned out, posting on its X/Twitter platform on Saturday that “the funeral was not just a farewell ceremony but a demonstration of the national unity in response to terror.”
