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.

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.)
