The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russia’s former defense minister and its army chief for war crimes committed during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, ramping up its moves against Russia following charges against President Vladimir Putin and other officials.The ICC charged Sergei Shoigu, who was defense minister until last month, and Gen. Valery Gerasimov, who is in charge of the war in Ukraine, with directing attacks at Ukraine’s power grid, causing excessive harm to civilians and civilian objects.“There are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects intentionally caused great suffering or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health, thus bearing criminal responsibility for the crime against humanity of other inhumane acts,” the court’s judges said in a statement Tuesday.

Iran’s presidential election on Friday will decide not only who leads a country increasingly antagonistic to the West but also help shape succession plans for the next supreme leader and indicate whether Iranians are giving up on their system of Islamic governance.The election pits a reformist candidate leading in the polls, Masoud Pezeshkian, who favors re-engaging with the West, against several hard-liners who want to deepen Iran’s relationships with Russia and China, fortify its alliance of anti-Israel militias and forge ahead with its nuclear program. There is no clear favorite, and there would be a runoff between the two top vote-getters if no one wins a majority.The election was sparked by the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month. Raisi, a hard-line cleric serving his first term, was viewed as a contender to succeed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is 85 years old and in poor health. Though no one outside a small circle in Iran is privy to succession talks, Iran analysts said Raisi’s death removed a safe choice.The election is happening at a critical time for Iran. It is under heightened international scrutiny over its nuclear program, which it says is peaceful, and its military support to Russia in the war against Ukraine. It nearly went to war with Israel in April, when the two countries attacked each other on their soil for the first time.
