“If the US does not respond by the end of Farvardin 1403 (March 19, 2024), we will register our complaint at the International Court of Justice in The Hague,” Vice President for Legal Affairs Mohammad Dehghan told IRNA on Tuesday.
“We have warned the US about its shortcomings in handling the case of the assassination of General Soleimani and its violation of international conventions, and they must respond to this notice,” he added.
Dehghan pointed out that the complaint against the US is being pursued separately from the prosecution of a number of individuals who have been identified to have directly or indirectly been involved in the assassination of General Soleimani in domestic courts.
General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was assassinated in a US drone strike outside Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
