Iran to pursue legal action against Israel, US over Khamenei assassination, official says - report

Iran has announced plans to pursue legal action against Israel and the United States over the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a statement by Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani. The process of filing a formal complaint has reportedly begun, with the Presidential Legal Office working alongside the Foreign Affairs Ministry to follow up on the case. Khamenei was killed in February 2026 during the opening stages of Operation Roaring Lion, an Israeli military operation, which also resulted in injuries to his son and current Iranian leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. During the second day of Khamenei’s funeral, chants calling for the deaths of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were reported in videos shared by Iranian media. The funeral included mourning ceremonies across Iran, with Khamenei’s coffin displayed alongside those of four other family members.
