Iran has launched sweeping legal and criminal lawsuits across international forums, accusing the United States and Israel of war crimes, terrorism sponsorship, and orchestrating violent unrest aimed at destabilizing the country. Tehran claims foreign intelligence agencies backed sabotage operations during nationwide protests that escalated into deadly riots in January. This legal offensive unfolds as the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group enters the Middle East, prompting sharp warnings from Iran’s IRGC, which says it is ready to respond decisively to any miscalculation. Rising naval tensions, legal warfare, and military threats are pushing the region toward a dangerous new flashpoint.
