US attack on Dena destroyer violation of international law: Iran's judiciary chief
The head of Iran’s judiciary has denounced the US Navy’s deadly attack on the Dena destroyer off the coast of Sri Lanka as a violation of all international conventions, particularly those governing international maritime law.
He also called on Iranians across the country to participate en masse in the funeral procession for the victims.
"The crime of the Satanic US regime in attacking the Dena destroyer, which resulted in the martyrdom of a large number of heroic Iranian sailors, filled the hearts of Iranians worldwide with grief and sorrow," Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei wrote in a message on Monday evening.
He stated that the Indian Ocean waters are decorated with the blood of Iranian sailors, stating that the young seamen onboard had taken part in an international naval exercise at the official request of the Indian government, and were returning home when they came under a cowardly and unfair attack by US terrorists and rogue elements.
"We will certainly and seriously pursue this outrageous crime and all other recent atrocities of the US regime, including the strike on the Minab school and residential areas, and the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and high-ranking military commanders at the international courts of law," Mohseni-Ejei noted.
The head of the judiciary emphasized that Iran will prosecute the criminal US regime for its crimes, particularly the martyrdom of Iranian sailors far away from their homeland.
