Iran indicts 159 US, Israeli officials over Khamenei assassination case

Iran's judiciary has issued indictments against 159 American and Israeli officials, referring the case to court over the alleged assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other Iranian leaders. The move is largely symbolic and unlikely to lead to actual prosecutions, but it escalates legal and rhetorical pressure against the US and Israel. The claim of assassination is unverified and appears to be part of Iran's ongoing narrative of foreign culpability.
