The Iranian judiciary has received more than 3,000 complaints for war crimes against Israel and the United States, including attacks on civilians, hospitals, and nuclear facilities.
The Iranian judiciary has surpassed 3,000 complaints for war crimes against Israel and the United States, as confirmed by the spokesperson for the agency, Asgar Jahangir. The complaints, filed in civil courts, focus on the attacks that occurred during the twelve-day war in June 2025 and the subsequent conflict between February 28 and April 8, 2026.
Documentation of damages in three categories
Jahangir detailed that the damages have been classified according to the Rome Statute into war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The documentation includes deliberate attacks against civilians, hospitals, schools, nuclear facilities, and vital infrastructure of the country.
"Every aggressor and anyone who initiates a war must be pursued and judged, and in addition to being judged and punished, they must compensate for the damages caused to the attacked country," asserted Jahangir.
The spokesperson explained that the Legal Vice Presidency of the Presidency and the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs are promoting the process to pursue these crimes before international bodies. The report on Israeli crimes during the twelve-day war has already been submitted to the United Nations as an official document.
Victim figures and economic damages
During the June 2025 war, more than 1,100 people lost their lives in Iran, including dozens of high-ranking state and military officials. In the 39 days of Israeli-American bombings between February and April 2026, another 3,400 people died. The Iranian government has estimated the total damages at $270 billion due to attacks on civilian infrastructure, industries, and petrochemical plants.
Jahangir emphasized that hundreds of criminal cases have been opened against responsible American and Israeli officials. The Iranian judiciary continues to gather evidence and testimonies to support the complaints before international courts.
Reactions and next steps
The international community is closely monitoring the process, while Iran insists on the need for accountability from those responsible. For the citizens of Mallorca, this news may seem distant, but the conflict in the Middle East has global repercussions on oil prices and international security. For now, the Iranian judiciary has not announced specific deadlines for filing the complaints with the International Criminal Court.
