Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh, Iranian Supreme Court Judges, Killed by Judiciary Employee in Tehran
Jan 19, 2025, 10:11 AM
Two senior judges of Iran's Supreme Court, Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh, were killed in a shooting at the court's building in Tehran by a 31-year-old employee of the judiciary with 10 years of service. The assailant entered the office of the judges on Saturday morning and, in an attack lasting only 13 seconds, shot and killed them, also wounding a security guard before taking his own life. The judges were known for their roles in handling cases related to national security, espionage, and terrorism. Following the incident, several individuals have been detained in connection with the attack, and investigations are ongoing to determine the motives behind the shooting. Iranian authorities, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have condemned the attack and expressed condolences to the families of the deceased judges.
