Iran to file legal complaints against Israel, US over Khamenei assassination

Iran intends to pursue legal action against Israel and the United States for the assassination of its former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Iranian government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, announced on Sunday that the process of filing a complaint, following the collection of evidence and documentation, has commenced.

"The process of filing a complaint after collecting evidence and documentation has begun and is being followed up," Mohajerani stated, as reported by Iran's Mizan News Agency. She added that the Presidential Legal Office, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is actively pursuing the case. Mohajerani also commented that Khamenei's "instructions" were not fully implemented during his lifetime, attributing this to the current state of Iran, and emphasized the importance of accurately implementing his guidelines and policies now.

Khamenei was killed in February during the initial strikes of Operation Roaring Lion. His son and current leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was reportedly wounded in the same attack. The second day of Khamenei's funeral ceremonies was underway on Sunday, with Iranians chanting slogans against former US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Crowds gathered at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla in Tehran as the week-long mourning continued. Three of Khamenei's sons participated in funeral prayers alongside his coffin and those of four other family members. However, Mojtaba Khamenei was notably absent, with Iranian state media citing senior clerics leading prayers in his place. His absence is significant given he is believed to be wounded and is the successor to his father.

The Presidential Legal Office, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is seriously following up on this case.
