Forty days after the savage attack by the Zionist regime on the country's soil, Dr. Seyyed Hossein Mousavifar, a professor of international law at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, in an exclusive interview with Habilian, analyzed this action from the perspective of international law. He described this attack as a clear example of "organized state terrorism" and a "war crime," emphasizing the need to strengthen domestic and international legal mechanisms to counter such actions.
Organized Terrorism and War Crimes
Investigations show that this attack was targeted and planned, even including blind assassinations in some cases. The presence of civilians in the targeted areas and strikes on individuals outside the battlefield clearly place this action in the category of war crimes. From the perspective of international law, the Zionist regime is recognized as a state terrorist organization that has committed a flagrant violation of humanitarian law.
Inefficiency of International Institutions
Although Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, has long been under pursuit by the International Criminal Court (ICC), some countries, by granting him immunity, have practically prevented the execution of justice. This indicates a structural weakness in international institutions in dealing with the crimes of this regime.
The Need to Strengthen Domestic and International Laws
Experts have emphasized that Iran must update its anti-terrorism laws and take necessary legal actions at domestic and international levels. Previously, Iran had identified the American CENTCOM as a terrorist force, and now it must also introduce the Zionist regime as a terrorist organization globally.
Next Step: Legal and Diplomatic Pursuit
Iran must pursue necessary actions through existing international documents and conventions to condemn this regime in global forums. This action is not only a legal necessity but also a legitimate reaction against state terrorism that threatens regional security.
