Iranian parliament plans to file lawsuit against US at UNSC

The Iranian parliament is ready to lodge a complaint against the US at the UN Security Council over Washington's terrorist activities against the Iranian nation and other world countries, a senior MP announced on Sunday."The Iranian nation's live and telling documents prove that the US administration as a symbol of terrorism in the world has killed millions of people and is a threat to humanity," Vice-Speaker of the Parliament's Security Committee Vali Esmayeeli told FNA on Sunday. In addition to documents on the US attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Bosnia and Herzegovina, inciting and sponsoring Saddam in the invasion of Iran and its support for the Zionist regime to occupy the Palestinian territories, Tehran has many more documents proving that Washington has direct or indirect ties and links with terrorists all around the world, he mentioned. Esmayeeli called on all independent countries of the world to accompany Iran in condemning the United States' terrorist activities at the UN. The Iranian lawmaker's remarks came two days after Iran's top security official Saeed Jalili released a number of documents detailing US involvement in acts of terror against the Islamic Republic. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili made the revelations on US terror moves against Iran on Friday during a ceremony marking the takeover anniversary of the US embassy in Tehran by Iranian students in 1979. Addressing hundreds of thousands of ralliers attending the November 4th rallies in Tehran, Jalili said Tehran has two large collections of such documents which will be given to Ban Ki-moon to be presented to all the UN member states. "Iran's ambassador to the UN will in a formal letter ask the UN Secretary-General to provide other countries with the documents on the United States' management and financial backup for terrorists and put the judicial prosecution of the US administration on (the UN) agenda based on conventions," Jalili said. "The United States has formally used its forces for terror and sabotage against Iran and other countries and as the Supreme Leader has said we have documents to discredit the United States. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei first announced on Wednesday that Iran planned to release a hundred corroborative documents substantiating Washington's role in supporting and sponsoring terrorist activities in Iran and the region. "We have a hundred unbeatable documents on the US role in directing terror and terrorists in Iran and the region," Ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday, addressing a large number of Iranian school and university students on the threshold of November the 4 which marks the takeover of the former US embassy in Tehran by Muslim students following the late Imam Khomeini's line in 1979. "By releasing these documents, we will dishonor the US and those who claim to be the advocates of human rights and campaign against terrorism among the world public opinion," he added. The remarks by the Iranian Supreme Leader came after the US in a new plot against Iran alleged that Tehran wanted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington. On October 11, US officials alleged Iran's Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) plotted to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington by hiring assassins from a Mexican drug cartel for $1.5 million. An Iranian-American car salesman accused of involvement in the plot pleaded not guilty in a New York court last week. Iran has strongly denied involvement, describing the allegations as "baseless scenario". Tehran said the claim meant to tarnish its "good relations" with Saudi Arabia and also distract the world attention from anti-capitalism protests in the US.
