Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi said Iranians are not calling for war, but for concrete measures to stop civilian killings.

BERLIN: Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi said Wednesday the US should consider “highly targeted actions” against Iran’s supreme leader and commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Speaking with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle as Iran has been rocked by protests in which thousands have been killed, she also called on US President Donald Trump’s administration to cripple Iranian state-run media with jamming technology.

“Preventing the massacre of the Iranian people does not require a full-scale war, it does not require killing more people,” Ebadi said. “What we are asking for is not war, but concrete steps to stop the killing of civilians.”
