The Iranian foreign ministry released a list in which enumerated human rights violation by the US government, including assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

“The most obvious example of anti-human rights acts of the UN government is the targeted assassination of General Qassem Soleimani. This arbitrary, illegal, and murderous act constitutes violation of many of the principles enshrined in human rights and international law,” the ministry added.
Referring to Afghanistan’s frozen assets it is named as another example of US anti-human rights acts.
In November 2010, the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a report on the violation of human rights by the US inside and outside its borders, and urged Washington to sign the international conventions which prohibit such crimes.
