Iran has called for prosecution of former US president Donald Trump
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi has called for prosecution of former US president Donald Trump, stressing that Iran will pursue the assassination of the country's top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani.
Raeisi made the remarks as he was addressing the 77th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The president hailed Iran's "prominent and progressive" role in confronting high-handed and interventionist policies, including the "United States-crafted terrorism."
He noted how, thanks to General Soleimani's commandership, Iran managed to frustrate the plots that were aimed at manipulating the contours of the regional countries.
The Iranian president considered justice to be the criteria by which all humanitarian causes are judged. "Justice translates into negation of oppression," he stated.
Some countries, such as the Islamic Republic's success in retaining the nature of their Revolution, "have sustained hope in the hearts of the people of the world in the establishment of justice."
The Islamic Revolution, which manifested the Iranian nation's march towards justice, has managed to sustain its dignity and authenticity in spite of various instances of sedition, he said.
The president prided himself on representing a nation that has, throughout history, confronted other nations' thralldom.
"We support globalisation of justice," he said, noting that the Iranian nation considered justice to be a source of unity, and oppression to be a precursor to warfare.
