Hey fam, new developments from Iran this weekend: the judiciary announced it's gearing up lawsuits against the alleged masterminds behind last month's unrest. ⚖️
Spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said on Sunday (Jan 18) that what started as protests on December 28 ended up as what officials call 'terrorist acts'—and they're pointing fingers at both misled locals and foreign players. 🌐
Law enforcement and security teams have been busy sorting out who was duped on the ground, who's a behind-the-scenes organiser, and who's linked to foreign intel services like Mossad. The names? Allegedly all lined up for court. 👀
On top of that, Jahangir revealed Iran is gathering proof of crimes by the US and Israel during the June 2025 Iran-Israel conflict. They're planning to file these exhibits in international courts. International law buffs, take note! 📜
Inside Iran, tensions spiked when Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei slammed the riots on Jan 17, accusing the US of orchestrating chaos and even calling former President Trump a 'criminal' for his role. 🔥
President Masoud Pezeshkian echoed those claims in a Jan 16 call with Russia's Vladimir Putin, saying Iran's unity beat back the plots and that the US and Israel were 'directly involved'. 🤝
Across the pond, Trump has been talking tough. Last Thursday (Jan 15) he said he wasn’t planning a strike, but come Saturday (Jan 17), he told Politico it’s 'time to look for new leadership in Iran'. The drama continues… ⚔️
And watch this space: Pezeshkian warned on Sunday (Jan 18) that any attack on Khamenei would trigger 'all-out war' against Iran. The standoff with Washington is far from over, and the world is watching. 🌏
Stay tuned for updates as this legal showdown unfolds—global intrigue on a legal stage! 👩⚖️👨⚖️
