Iran will pursue war-crimes charges against President Donald Trump at the International Criminal Court in the Hague over the January 3 assassination of its top commander, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, outside Baghdad's international airport, according to Gholam Hossein Esmaeili, the spokesman for Iran's top judicial authorities. "We intend to file lawsuits in the Islamic Republic, Iraq and The Hague Court [International Court of Justice] against the military and government of America and against Trump," Esmaeili said at a Tuesday press conference. "There is no doubt that the US military has done a terrorist act assassinating Guards Commander Lt. Gen. Soleimani and Second-in-Command of Iraq Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis ... and Trump has confessed doing the crime."

"If this case happens I suspect there are some reasons Iran might not want to take this mess to an international court for their own reasons but if it does go forward, the case against the Americans is shockingly strong," the official, who asked not to be named, said. "On the face of it, the killing of Soleimani for reasons specifically cited by Trump is probably illegal. Do the Americans have a stronger case then they're showing us?

They aren't wrong, but it won't amount to anything since the US doesn't recognize the ICC. Also, seems a bit hypocritical coming from Iran of all places.

The Hague is part of the UN's criminal court system. Unless I missed the US leaving the UN or something that law doesn't apply.

Let me get this straight, you think that the US president, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is secretly a war criminal, who spends his nights using drones to assassinate other war criminals to a bloody pulp with his remote control, and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good Luck...

Our President committed a war crime and almost started a war to distract from impeachment. This is a fact, the man said it himself. If Trump wasnt so arrogant and hasty those men and woman would be alive right now.

It can be, yes. Whether Soleimani is or is not a terrorist has no bearing on this.

Oh yea? How is the US a joke? The US has done more to advance mankind than any country in the history of the world. Iran spends billions on funding terrorists, the US gives billions in foreign aid. No one is more generous than Americans. As to taking it up the bum, in Iran they kill people for that. Its not a big deal here.

Your move.

There were 2,800 airstrikes during the Obama administration and the Democrats championed him when he ordered Bin Laden killed, because it was the right decision.

Fast forward to 2020, and the Democrats side with terrorists over the United States.

1. Bin Laden wasn't a high-ranking member of a foreign nation's government

2. Please explain to me in your own words how a SEAL team boots-on-the-ground raid on a mansion is in any way similar to a drone strike

E: Let's also not pretend there wasn't any controversy around the fact OBL wasn't captured alive despite reportedly being unarmed.

Killing Bin Laden didnt almost start a major war and potentially end millions of lives.
