Iran to sue Trump, Pahlavi family over role in protests, says judiciary official

Iran will pursue legal action against US President Donald Trump and the family of Iranian exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi over their alleged role in nationwide protests, a judiciary official told state media.

Hasan Abdolianpour, head of Iran’s judiciary center for lawyers, blamed Trump and Pahlavi for the unrest, saying, “In the recent unrest, our main party is the criminal Trump and the Pahlavi terrorist organization."

He added that a complaint had been submitted to Tehran’s prosecutor and that authorities would follow the case in domestic and international courts, according to the same report.

Iran has repeatedly accused foreign governments and exiled opposition figures of stoking protests, accusations denied by activists and critics of the Islamic Republic
