Iran’s judiciary has issued indictments against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir. This development comes amid ongoing tensions following the breakdown of a ceasefire in the 2026 Iran war. The ceasefire, originally established by a memorandum of understanding, collapsed earlier this month, leading to renewed hostilities. The indictments are perceived as a significant escalation in the conflict, potentially complicating diplomatic efforts to secure a new U.S.-Iran deal.
