Tehran Supreme Court Justices Killed in Shooting
Two senior Iranian Supreme Court justices, Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh, were fatally shot in Tehran by a lone gunman who subsequently committed suicide. The attacker’s motive remains unclear, with preliminary investigations revealing no prior connection to the court. A bodyguard was also injured in the attack, and an investigation is underway to determine if accomplices were involved. The judiciary attributed the killings to the judges’ harsh sentences against terrorists, while the U.S. previously sanctioned Moghiseh for overseeing unfair trials.
