Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei has announced that Iran is pursuing legal action against the United States and Israel for war crimes committed during two imposed wars of aggression against the country over the past year. Speaking at a meeting with a group of international lawyers and legal experts involved in pursuing war crimes cases, Ejei stated that Iran seeks broader cooperation with legal professionals worldwide to advance efforts aimed at prosecuting those responsible for crimes against the Iranian people.

Ejei emphasized that the Iranian Judiciary is committed to pursuing these cases through all available legal channels.
