Iran says it seeks to prosecute 127 people abroad over Soleimani killing

[IsraelTimes] Judiciary spokesperson says Tehran has sent letters to nine countries asking them to take action against alleged culprits

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
said Wednesday it intends to prosecute 127 people for alleged involvement or cooperation with the liquidation of its Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani
two years ago by the US administration of Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
According to Fars News, which is run by the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a judiciary spokesperson said the country sent 11 letters to nine countries, asking them to take measures against the alleged culprits.

The spokesperson also said Iran and Iraq signed a memorandum of understanding related to the prosecutions. Soleimani and his Iraqi lieutenant were assassinated in a US dronezap at Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020.

The report did not provide details on who were among the 127 individuals.

On Monday, as Tehran marked two years since the revered commander’s death, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed Dire Revenge against Trump unless the former US president is tried over the killing.

Raisi, addressing Tehran’s largest prayer hall, said: "The aggressor and the main assassin, the then president of the United States, must face justice and retribution" alongside former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo "and other criminals."
Ought the government provide them with protection until this thing is resolved, or are they on their own, given they’re eeeeevil Republicans and all?
Tehran’s enemies were targeted on the day of the anniversary in unclaimed drone and cyber attacks — with two armed unmanned aerial vehicles intercepted by the US-led coalition in Iraq over Baghdad airport, and hackers attacking Israeli media sites.

Soleimani headed the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, with links to gangs in Iraq, Lebanon Hezbollahstan

. The Quds force is designated by a number of countries as a terrorist organization, including the US and Israel.

The nighttime strike destroyed a convoy carrying Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy leader of the Hashed al-Shaabi coalition of pro-Iranian gangs, and others.
