Iran’s Top Attorney Indicts Trump for Murder in Criminal Court of Tehran
by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News
In a story that has been widely reported in the Middle Eastern media since yesterday, June 23, 2024, Ali Alghasi-Mehr, the judiciary chief for Tehran province, has issued a 164-page indictment against 73 American officials regarding the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and his companions back in 2020.
The chief Iranian prosecutor stated that a public trial will be held next month, and that: “All the defendants, who are U.S. statesmen and military officials, have been officially notified of the case and required to introduce their lawyers.”
Iran files indictment against U.S. officials for General Soleimani’s assassination
TEHRAN – Iran has taken new steps to proceed with its trial against the United States concerning the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, issuing an indictment against 73 American government and military officials.
The indictment, consisting of over 12,000 pages of documentation, was announced by Ali Alghasi-Mehr, the judiciary chief for Tehran province.
“After collecting more than 12,000 pages of documents, the 164-page indictment was issued against 73 American officials regarding the martyrdom of Hajj Qassem Soleimani and his companions and was referred to Tehran Criminal Court number 1,” he announced on Sunday.
Alghasi-Mehr stated that a public trial will be held next month.
“All the defendants, who are U.S. statesmen and military officials, have been officially notified of the case and required to introduce their lawyers,” he added.
Only two of the 73 American officials have been revealed so far (that I could find), and that is former U.S. President Donald Trump, who ordered Soleimani’s death, and Trump’s former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.
Tehran Judiciary Sentences 73 US Officials to Pay $9bn for Killing Soleimani
Last year, Iran’s judiciary said it has identified 97 suspects in the killing of Soleimani, including former US President, Donald Trump. Mohammad Mosaddegh, Deputy Chief of Iran’s Judiciary, announced on Wednesday that “legal measures have been initiated against 73 Americans” including Trump and former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.
Soleimani, who held a prominent role in Iran’s military and intelligence operations abroad, oversaw the support and coordination of various militant proxy groups, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Shiite militias in Iraq, which frequently targeted US forces. (Source.)
This 164-page indictment, which has now reportedly reached 12,000 pages of documents, has been in the works for some time now, and last year Iran requested help from other countries to bring Trump and his officials to trial.
Iran indicts 73 Americans in General Soleimani assassination case
Officially, Iran has issued indictments for 73 US citizens over their involvement in the assassination of former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps’ Quds Force Lieut. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, according to First Deputy of the Iranian Judiciary Mohammad Mosaddeq on Wednesday.
Mosaddeq added that the judiciary has identified as of now 97 implicated individuals, noting that Iran is looking to bring to trial former US President Donald Trump for his part in the assassination.
According to Mosaddeq, Iran has sent requests for cooperation to nine countries suspected of involvement in coordinating the assassination, and some have already responded.
Tehran has repeatedly assured the US and “Israel” that it will avenge Soleimani’s murder and that it will keep them on their toes since they won’t know when and where they will come under attack.
Iran has also previously requested that Interpol issue a red notice for all those behind the assassination of Lieut. Gen. Soleimani, especially after Tehran identified the perpetrators in connection with the terror attack, including Trump, Pentagon officials, and American forces in the region. (Source.)
How Likely is it that Trump will ever face Trial in Iran?
Skeptics and Zionist followers of the Trump Cult will be quick to point out that Iran has been trying to bring Trump to justice since 2020, the year Trump and the military assassinated General Qassem Soleimani, and that there is no chance Trump will ever stand trial in Iran.
But many things have changed since 2020, and even since September of 2023 when it was announced that Iran was preparing these indictments, just one month before the Hamas attack on Israel in October of 2023.
Also, recent events here in 2024 have dramatically changed the attitude in the Middle East with Iran and their allies.
The first one was the explosion of pro-Palestinian student protests here in the U.S., which, perhaps for the first time, showed many Muslim people in the Middle East that not all Americans are Zionists, and that many Americans actually support the cause of the Palestinian people to stop Israel’s genocide against them.
Secondly, Iran joined the BRICS alliance at the beginning of 2024, closely allying with China and Russia to form a new “Golden Triangle” that is seen to be able to keep American and Israeli Zionist aggression in check.
And lastly, military campaigns conducted by Iran and their proxies such as the Houthis have achieved far greater success than anyone in the West had previously thought was possible.
I reported yesterday on the success of the Houthis from Yemen to totally disrupt Red Sea naval traffic, by taking on BOTH the UK and U.S. “powerful” naval forces, where after 6 months the Houthis attacks on Red Sea traffic heading to Israel have increased, and not decreased.
The most significant event of them all was Iran’s attack on Israel with over 300 attack drones and missiles, which was allegedly so impressive, that the U.S. had Joe Biden call Netanyahu and tell him to stand down on any retaliatory attack back on Iran. See:
This event alone has significantly emboldened pro-Iranian forces, who seem to not fear Israel and the U.S. as much as they have in the past.
Here is the perspective of an American Muslim writer that I published earlier this month (June, 2024), and I am going to include it again here so you can read the non-Western perspective regarding Iran’s attack on Israel, and its significance.
Read this very carefully, because it will explain why Iran and so many in the Middle East do not share the Western perspective on Israel and American Zionism anymore, and seem to be gaining confidence by the day.
Iran Sends a Message: The Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back
On 1 April 2024, Israel’s air strike on an Iranian consulate building in the Syrian capital Damascus killed an important senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Brig Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi, along with other IRGC commanders, who were meeting to co-ordinate the next phase in the Axis of resistance’s attacks on Israel.
Over the next two weeks, many people in Israel began panic-buying groceries and essentials- all in fear of an Iranian retaliation! The holy month of Ramadan ended on Wednesday 10th April. The next day, Iran sent a message to Israel via the Turks and Saudis that they are going to strike Israel.
Panic ensued.
A little over 48 hours before Iran’s aerial message to Israel across the skies of West Asia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov confirmed, on the record, what so far had been, at best, hush-hush diplomatic talk: The Russian side kept in contact with Iranian partners on the situation in the Middle East after the Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
Here, concisely, we had Russia’s top diplomatic coordinator with BRICS – in the year of the multipolar organization’s Russian presidency – indirectly messaging that Russia has Iran’s back.
Iran, it should be noted, just became a full-fledged BRICS+ member in January.
Iran’s aerial message this weekend confirmed this in practice: their missile guidance systems used the Chinese Beidou satellite navigation system as well as the Russian GLONASS system.
This is Russia–China Intel leading from behind and a graphic example of BRICS+ on the move.
Ryabkov’s “we stay in constant touch” plus the satellite navigation Intel confirms the deeply interlocked cooperation between the Russia–China strategic partnership and their mutual strategic partner Iran.
Based on vast experience in Ukraine, Moscow knew that the biblical psychopathic genocidal entity would keep escalating if Iran only continued to exercise “strategic patience.”
The morphing of “strategic patience” into a new strategic balance had to take some time – including high-level exchanges with the Russian side.
And don’t forget the Strait of Hormuz
Tehran did manage to upend the massive western psychological operations aimed at pushing it into a strategic misstep. Iran started with a misdirecting masterstroke.
As US–Israeli fear porn went off the charts, fueled by dodgy western “intel,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) made a quick sideways move, seizing an Israeli-owned container ship near the Strait of Hormuz.
That was an eminently elegant manoeuvre – reminding the collective west of Tehran’s hold on the Strait of Hormuz, a fact immeasurably more dangerous to the whole western economic house of cards than any limited strike on their “aircraft carrier” in the Middle East. That did happen anyway.
Iran Breaches Anglo-Zionist Defenses in Historic Attack: A Breakdown
Unlike that ‘moral’ army specialized in killing women, children, and the elderly and bombing hospitals, mosques, schools, universities, and humanitarian convoys, the Iranian attack targeted key Israeli military sites such as the Nevatim and Ramon airbases in the Negev and an intel center in the occupied Golan Heights – the three centers used by Tel Aviv in its strike on Iran’s Damascus consulate.
This was a highly choreographed show.
Multiple early warning signs gifted Tel Aviv with plenty of time to profit from US Intel and evacuate fighter jets and personnel, which was duly followed by a plethora of US military radars coordinating the defense strategy.
It was American firepower that smashed the bulk of what may have been a swarm of 185 Shahed-136 drones – using everything from ship-mounted air defense to fighter jets. The rest was shot down over Jordan by The Little King’s military – the Arab street will never forget his treachery – and then by dozens of Israeli jets.
Israel’s defenses were de facto saturated by the suicide drone-ballistic missile combo. On the ballistic missile front, several pierced the dense maze of Israel’s air defenses, with Israel officially claiming nine successful hits – interestingly enough, all of them hitting super relevant military targets.
Look at the targets that were struck.
Ramon has been badly hit. Nevatim was hit by more than 7 missiles. Air Force Intelligence HQ completely leveled. Other strikes on air defence installations obviously not close to population centres and out of view but I’m sure sat Intel will show extent of damage.And another:
Nevatim Airbasein the south of occupied Palestine- this is the base that the F-35’s took off from. It is the most highly defended base in the world. Very heavily protected by a vast array of anti-missile defense systems, all of which are tied connected to the US SatCom system. Reports say that as many as a 100 US officers were manning these complex systems, and they suffered huge losses in this Iranian hit. Of course, neither Israel nor the US will confirm any of this. The funny thing is that we hardly ever hear of any Israeli or American soldiers being killed on the battle field. Rather, they are “wounded”. What else can one accept from the Empire of Lies?
Ramon Airbasein the south of occupied Palestine-this is the headquarters of the Israeli Air-Force Intelligence. This is the site where the attack on the consulate was planned. This building and its occupants was totally destroyed. Much valuable equipment was destroyed. There have been reports that many senior intelligence officers – reports say about 20- were also killed in this attack.
The Israeli top-secret intelligence-spy base in Jabal al-Sheikh (Mount Hermon) in the north of the occupied Golan. Israel captured this site from the Syrians in the June 1967 War. In the 1973 October War, a fierce battle was fought here, when Syria managed to re-take this site. Israel counter-attacked and managed to take it back. Since then, Israel has fortified this site. This site is crucial for either side. For Syria, this site could allow them to overlook the entire Galilee and northern Israel. Conversely, with this site in Israel’s control, Israel can see the entire southern region of Syria, and was able to monitor Damascus very closely, in terms of communications. That’s how they were able to know that a meeting was taking place in the Iranian consulate held by the senior-most commanders of the IRGC, who were meeting to take the next steps in the attacks on Israel. It should be noted that the rest of the explosions or hits in other areas of the occupied territories are related to the confrontation of the Israeli air defense systems with the projectiles in the sky or the falling of the wreckage of the interceptor missiles or the wreckage of Iranian missiles.
This strike was unprecedented for several important reasons
Firstly, it was of course the first Iranian strike on Israeli soil directly from Iranian soil itself, rather than utilizing proxies from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc. This alone was a big watershed step that has opened up all sorts of unprecedented milestones and potentials for escalatory spirals.
Secondly, it was one of the most advanced and longest range peer-to-peer style exchanges in history.
Even in Russia, where I have noted we’ve seen the first ever truly modern near-peer conflict, with unprecedented scenes never before witnessed like when highly advanced NATO Storm Shadow missiles flew to Crimea while literally in the same moments, advanced Russian Kalibrs flew past them in the opposite direction—such an exchange has never been witnessed before, as we’ve become accustomed to seeing NATO pound on weaker, unarmed opponents over the last few decades.
But no, Iran upped the ante even more – because even in Russia, such exchanges at least happen directly over the Russian border onto its neighbor, where logistics and ISR is for obvious reasons much simpler.
But Iran did something unprecedented. They conducted the first ever modern, potentially hypersonic, assault on an enemy with SRBMs and MRBMs across a vast multi-domain space covering several countries and time-zones, and potentially as much as 1200-2000km.
This has never before been witnessed. And to add to that, Iran did all this with, as mentioned above, potentially hypersonic weapons which peeled back another layer of sophistication that included such things as possibly some endo-atmospheric interception attempts with Israeli Arrow-3 ABM missiles.
But let’s step back for a moment and say that Iran’s operation in general was sophisticated and modeled after the paradigm set by Russia in Ukraine: As stated, all three layers of the attack were timed to coincide, with the slowest (drones) going first, then next fastest (cruise missiles), followed by the fastest time-to-target, the ballistic missiles.
The U.S. scrambled a large coalition to shoot the threats down, which included the U.S. itself, UK flying from Cyprus, France, and, controversially, Lebanon itself which allowed them all too also use its airspace.
Dozens of images proclaimed the “successful” shoot downs of Iranian ballistic missiles. The problem is all of those are the ejected booster stages of two-stage rockets.
There is no conclusive proof that any ballistic missiles were shot down and in fact all the evidence points to the opposite: direct footage of the missiles penetrating the AD net and striking targets.
This comes closest to confirming that missile to be an Emad from the chart above, which is one of Iran’s most advanced and can feature a MaRV (Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicle) warhead.
This is where it starts getting interesting, because the hits we saw in Israel appeared to potentially utilize some form of MaRV or hypersonic glide vehicle, which would mean Iran could have made history even beyond what we can imagine last night.
“Iran has not fired its hypersonic missiles. In fact, most of the drones and missiles that were fired were older drones and missiles.
They were very inexpensive and were used as decoys.
So Iran spent a couple of million dollars to force the Israelis to spend $1.3 billion in anti-missile missiles, which was itself a big achievement by the Iranians. And then a number of other missiles that the Iranians fired…cut through and struck their targets,” an Iranian academic and geopolitical affairs commentator told Sputnik.
In short: while Israel and the U.S. claim they shot down 100% of everything, and while it’s possible that the drone and cruise missile lures were mostly shot down—though we have no strong evidence one way or the other—we do have evidence that the ballistic missiles largely went unopposed, slicing through what’s claimed to be the densest air defense in the world.
Not only Israel’s itself, comprised of a layered defense of David Slings, Arrow-3s, Patriots, and Iron Dome, but also the aforementioned allied air-forces, as well as what’s now been reported to be two U.S. Arleigh Burke warship firing upwards of 70+ SM-3 missiles from the Mediterranean shore.
The hits that we saw were spectacular in one profound way: the terminal velocity of the Iranian ballistic missiles appeared stunningly fast.
However, based on visual eye-balling, some of the strikes appear to be landing at minimum Mach 3.5-5 if not higher, which according to some, is even higher than Iskander terminal velocity.
That being said, while the Iranian MRBMs feature very complex propulsion systems, given that they are two and even three stage for extra-long range, while Russia and the U.S. lacks these because of their previous adherence to the Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Treaty, the guidance aspect of Iranian MRBMs remains a question mark.
We don’t know how accurate they are, and in the end, how effective the strikes actually were in hitting their targets. That’s because beyond the general macro objective of “hitting Nevatim airbase”, for instance, we don’t know what precisely inside that giant airbase Iran may have targeted.
And, finally, to scare Israel even more, another missile landed very close to the Dimona nuclear reactor and research center in the south.
The message from Iran was – “attack our nuclear facilities – we have many- at your peril, for now we can touch your facility at Dimona”.
This is a statement from Scott Ritter- a former US intelligence analyst:
“My understanding is that Iran used 3 types of ballistic missiles.
One ballistic missile uses a warhead that separates and then burst-fires a number of decoys that are specifically designed to attract Iron Dome missiles. …so, Iron Dome will fire 25 interceptors…
Meanwhile smaller more maneuverable warheads burst through those interceptors and hit the Israeli air defense systems… and that appears to be the case.
So, they are telling the Israelis ‘How we are going to take you out’...
The next thing we see is missiles coming in that the warheads separate from the missile body and then there is a booster engine on the warhead that drives it down into the ground blowing away any ability for radar intercept hitting the target.
And what this does is clear the space, clear the entire air defense; and the final thing is these heavy warheads that come off the heavy missiles that hit the runways and blew the big craters in them.
This was a three-layered ballistic missile attack that was specifically designed by the Iranians to destroy Israeli air defense to clear the way to show the Israelis that we can put the big warheads on the target anywhere in Israel we want to.
This was successful, and the beauty of this is, they didn’t use their best missiles…. This was just a single strike-package. …
Iran can repeat this process all day long and what they’ve showed Israel is that “This is what we can do.”
And I guarantee you that there are intelligence officers like me writing reports right now telling Israel:
“Stop all the nonsense. We can’t win this war. It’s over, guys. We have no defense here. If Iran wants to come in, we are powerless. Stop it now.”
The whole show had the budget of a mega blockbuster.
For Israel – without even counting the price of US, UK, and Israeli jets – just the multi-layered interception system set it back at least $1.35 billion, according to an Israeli official.
Iranian military sources tally the cost of their drone and missile salvos at only $35 million – 2.5 percent of Tel Aviv’s expenditure – made with full indigenous technology.
The US, Britain and France launched 150 jets to shoot down these drones. And they fired 100s of sidewinder missiles, with each costing more than $500,000 each. Add to this, the anti-missile systems on two US Aegis-class warships. The cost to the US and its allies just for this has been more than $2 billion.
Thus, it cost Israel, the US, Britain and France an amount of more than $3.5 billion!
What makes the situation worse for NATO and the US is that they are unable to produce such missiles in sufficient quantities to continue expending such missiles.
Were Iran to repeat this attack EVERY WEEK, for the next few months, then by October of this year, the entire West will be completely out of air-defense missiles and launch systems.
Did Russia Get Involved and Shoot Down an Israeli F-35?
Israel initially chose to respond with extreme force. Israel sent in an F-35 loaded with a nuclear bomb east over Jordan. The mission: cause a high-altitude detonation over Iran that would provoke a surge in the high-capacity power lines, crippling Iran’s electric grid, as well as disabling all electronic devices.
An EMP attack.
However…… As the Israeli F-35 was leaving Jordanian airspace it was shot down by the Russian Air Force. Then, using long-range missiles, take out an air-defense radar system protecting Iran’s nuclear facility at Natanz.
Finally, send in a strike package of F-35’s to bomb Natanz.
Regarding the first point here: this news came from 2 sources in the intelligence services of two major powers. Anything is possible in the shadow world.
Remember when Israel lost 2 Dolphin submarines in the eastern Mediterranean Sea back in mid-2014?
Nothing was made public. It could be the same here.
It seems that the major global powers have decided to keep this incident very quiet.
In the end, all sides decided not to publicize the real news, in order not to start World War 3.
It just goes to show how genocidal and desperate the Rothschilds are, especially when it comes to their baby – Project Israel. They will burn the whole world in order to make sure that their Project Israel does not collapse.
Why did Russia intervene in these two?
Because it is the same people and forces that are behind the plan to destroy, dismember and loot Russia are EXACTLY the same forces pushing the Gaza genocide.
It is also the same forces pushing immigration, the destruction of Christianity, the push for the LBGT and gender nonsense, etc. The forces of evil.
So, Putin is helping humanity by standing against the two families.
Checkmate – A new Middle East Chessboard
It took only a few hours for Iran to finally metastasize strategic patience into serious deterrence, sending an extremely powerful and multi-layered message to its adversaries and masterfully changing the game across the whole Middle Eastern chessboard.
Were the biblical psychopaths to engage in a real Hot War against Iran, there’s no chance in hell Tel Aviv can intercept hundreds of Iranian missiles – the state-of-the-art ones excluded from the current show – without an early warning mechanism spread over several days.
Without the Pentagon’s umbrella of weaponry and funds, Israeli defense is unsustainable. It will be fascinating to see what lessons Moscow will glean from this profusion of lights over Israel’s sky, its sly eyes taking in the frantic Israeli, political, and military scene as the heat continues to rise on the slowly boiling – and now screaming – frog.
It’s no wonder that the Biden combo, days before the Iranian response, was frantically begging Beijing, Riyadh, and Ankara, among others, to hold Tehran back.
The Iranians might have even agreed – had the UN Security Council imposed a permanent ceasefire in Gaza to calm the regional storm.
Washington was mute. The question now is whether it will remain mute.
Mohammad Bagheri, chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, went straight to the point:
“We have conveyed a message to America through the Swiss Embassy that American bases will become a military target if they are used in future aggressive actions of the Zionist regime. We will consider this as aggression and will act accordingly.”
Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israeli military sites on April 13-14 signals a tectonic shift in the regional balance of power.
While the media remains preoccupied with the number of outdated Iranian drones that were shot down during the onslaught, military analysts are far more focused on the way that Iran’s ballistic missiles cut through Israel’s vaunted air defense systems striking sites at the Nevatim and Negev Air Bases.
The failure of the combined US-Israeli defense systems in the face of a concerted Iranian missile attack exposed the short-comings of the US ballistic missile defense capabilities world-wide…
This means that the US and NATO forces in Europe are vulnerable to attack from advanced Russian missile technologies most likely be able to strike and sink US navy ships in the Pacific Ocean in the event of a conflict over Taiwan…. which match or exceed those used by Iran to attack Israel. It also means that China and North Korea could do the same to US ships and forces ashore in the vicinity of Japan and South Korea…
The global strategic implications of this stunning Iranian accomplishment are game-changing.Checkmate.
If in the past it was impossible that any Americans would face criminal charges in Iran, one must consider the possibility that the situation is quickly changing, and that it actually could be possible at some point.
If the Zionists Lose the War in Israel, will There be Tribunals Convicting Zionists of War Crimes?
As I have previously reported many times since the October 2023 Israel-Hamas war started, most Zionists in the U.S. are Christians.
These Zionist Christians fully support the genocide of the Palestinian people, even though some of these Palestinians are not Jews but actually Christians, and many of these American Zionist Christians have even called for nuclear bombs to be launched into Gaza.
Their support for the current Zionist regime in Israel is 100% justified by their religious belief in prophecy and their particular Zionist religious views of the Bible.
If you disagree with them, then you are labeled as someone who supports “antisemitism”. For these Zionists, who fill the political offices in Washington D.C., “Freedom of Religion” as defined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, is only “Free” if you support the nation of Israel.
This religious Christian cult of Zionism now threatens to destroy the U.S., as these Zionists fully believe that America should defend Israel at all costs, justifying this by their religious beliefs, and they believe that having Donald Trump return to the White House will also be a fulfillment of prophecy.
But what if they’re wrong (as I fully believe they are)?
Will the rest of the world just stand by and excuse the actions of the Zionists in killing so many innocent people for the past many years, and just forget about the whole thing and move on?
Or will they do what Iran is now doing and issue arrest warrants to bring the Zionist leaders to justice?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has already issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes, and there is speculation as to whether he will make a planned trip to the U.S. in July to address Congress.
Some politicians in the UK have allegedly stated that if Netanyahu traveled to the UK, they would comply with the ICC arrest warrant.
And let’s not forget that Donald Trump is already a convicted criminal in the U.S., although many believe that his conviction will eventually be overturned.
But there are obviously powerful forces opposing Trump among his political opponents in the U.S., and if they cannot get a U.S. court to incarcerate him, could they possibly make a way to hand him over to Iran to face charges there?
We are still in the early stages of WW III, and with the U.S. Presidential elections coming later this year, I would say that there are many possible outcomes possible at this point.

Good article as usual. This is all part of the game. Hegalian dialectic hard at work. All the while all these countries are part of the UNITED nations aka new world order. I would be curious as to how the UN reps from the US and Russia act when they are at a UN meeting. Do they yell about what the other is doing, or is it all cum ba ya lets push the Agenda 31?
Seems so crazy. They are friends in one arena and dropping bombs on each other all at the same time! So it seems to me at least.
Take care Brian! Many Blessings! Praise Yahua!
