Iran judiciary chief urges swift action on cases tied to recent Israeli aggression

Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Eje'i has stressed the urgent need to swiftly and precisely handle all judicial cases involving individuals accused of ties with the Israeli regime, following recent Israeli acts of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

"Accelerating the investigation and resolution of cases involving individuals suspected of links to the Zionist regime is an undeniable necessity,” Mohseni-Eje'i ​​​​​told judiciary officials. “There must be no delay or negligence in this matter.”

His remarks come in the aftermath of the unprovoked Israeli aggression on Iran, starting on June 13. The assault targeted high-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. The United States also joined the aggression by bombing three peaceful nuclear facilities in central Iran.

Iranian security forces have dismantled multiple Mossad-linked sabotage cells across the country, seizing Israeli-made Spike missiles, suicide drones, and explosives, officials say.

The operations have included targeting drone workshops and bomb-making sites in Tehran, Isfahan, Alborz, Mazandaran and other provinces, where the cells planned attacks on infrastructure and residential areas.

Iranian authorities say Israel’s spy agency Mossad has been involved in funding and arming terrorist groups and conducting assassinations inside the country.

Eje’i said the invading enemy had devised multilayered conspiracies during the recent aggression aimed at damaging Iran’s foundation, but the “awareness and loyalty” of the people neutralized the plots at the outset.

The enemy, he said, deliberately targeted key centers hoping to spark unrest and chaos, but “in reality, people from different classes and political views — sometimes conflicting — all emphasized adherence to the leadership to preserve the Islamic Republic. As a result, the enemy’s conspiracy did not come to fruition.”

“We today face the most hostile enemies of God and humanity,” Eje’i said. “This is both difficult and sweet; humiliating these malicious enemies will bring us a special satisfaction.”

Eje’i credited the guidance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with Iran’s military and security strength and the remarkable cohesion of the nation, for preventing the enemies from achieving their objectives.

“Thanks to the leadership of the Eminent Leader, the military and security power of the country, and the outstanding unity and cohesion of the people, the enemies of the Islamic Republic, led by the Zionist regime and the United States, failed to achieve any of their goals,” he said. “On the contrary, the power of the system and the Iranian nation increased.”

Ayatollah Khamenei on Wednesday called on the judiciary to rigorously pursue those responsible for the attack, both inside the country and abroad.

“The issue of the Judiciary pursuing these recent crimes in legal tribunals, whether domestic or international, is among the most necessary and important tasks,” he said. “We should have done this in many previous cases, but we failed in the past years. This time, we must not fall short.”

Ayatollah Khamenei: Israel clung to US for ceasefire with Iran

Ayatollah Khamenei says Israel was compelled to “bow down and cling to the United States” in desperation during the recent 12-day aggression against Iran, as it proved incapable of facing the Islamic Republic alone.

Mohseni-Eje'i noted that justice and due process should be preserved even amid the current heightened security climate. “I stress that under no circumstances should we deviate from justice, fairness, and legal principles,” he said.

“Indictments in such cases must be prepared with maximum comprehensiveness, and supported with documented and well-reasoned evidence before being submitted to the courts. The courts, in turn, must issue fair verdicts based on the law, with the utmost speed and precision, for those whose guilt is proven,” he said.

Security forces across the country have arrested dozens of individuals since June 13 on suspicion of ties with the Israeli regime.

Mohseni-Eje'i also noted that some of the cases in question may predate the recent Israeli aggression, and could be dispersed across various judicial branches. “Determining the outcome of such cases—especially those that may fall under the category of corruption on earth—is a top priority,” he said.

“Other related cases, even if they do not qualify as espionage or corruption on earth, must also be handled without delay.”
