So where, exactly, is Iran supposedly committing genocide?

pointing out that Iranian leaders have called for Israel’s destruction and that Iran gives strong backing to Hamas and other Gaza terror groups that carried out the October 7 atrocities.

IMO, they think their defense case was damaged by all the comments senior Israelis have made calling for the genocide of the Palestinians, so now they're trying to defuse that argument.

If they're going after everyone that's backed Hamas, they'll be right there next to Iran in the docket.
