Iran has filed legal and criminal complaints in international forums against the United States, the Israeli regime, and several terrorist groups for supporting and financing subversive actions against Iran’s national security.
The defendants are accused of backing destabilizing activities and acts of sabotage aimed at undermining the country’s security.
Foreign-instigated riots in Iran escalated on January 8 and continued for several days, following peaceful protests in bazaars and markets where traders called for government action to halt the devaluation of the Iranian rial.

The violence, openly encouraged by the Israeli regime and US President Donald Trump, resulted in extensive damage to public and private property. This included widespread destruction of shops, government institutions, public service facilities, and the killing of thousands of civilians, including women and children, as well as security forces.
Iranian authorities have confirmed that US and Israeli intelligence agencies were directly involved, providing funding, training, and media support to rioters and armed terrorists acting on the streets.
In a meeting to follow up on the judicial process for those involved in the recent unrest, Head of Iran’s Judiciary Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i stated that the US and ‘Israel’ are the main agents behind the violent riots, playing a direct and overt role rather than limiting themselves to indirect support.
He stated that during the recent riots, “criminal America” and the “Zionist regime” openly provided financial, military, and training support to terrorists and rioters, adding that the recent developments could be considered another phase of a 12-day war.
Mohseni-Eje’i further stated that individuals who carried out attacks in streets and public areas, targeting civilians and security forces with weapons, were criminals whose objective was to implement the conspiracies of the United States and ‘Israel’ inside Iran. He emphasized there would be no leniency toward those involved in the killing of security forces and civilians.
The Judiciary chief also stressed that individuals who took part in the unrest must be held accountable and compensate for damages caused to public and private property.
“Elements involved in the riots in any way—whether as planners, instigators, provocateurs, or direct perpetrators—must, in addition to facing legal punishments, take action to compensate for the damages inflicted on public and private property,” he said.
