According to Tasnim, a news station in Iran, Iran is working to file a criminal case against the U.S. Army, government and President Trump in the international criminal court.
Iran is pursuing the lawsuit over the recent killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani who was killed in a drone strike by U.S. helicopters.
President Trump ordered the strike.
According to Tasnim a spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary said “there is no doubt that the U.S. military action was act of terrorism.”
The spokesperson said the case would be handled by Iranian courts, Iraq, “where the crime happened,” and the international criminal court.
The spokesperson also said the process may be long, but Iran is “pursuing this case to the end.”
