Two Iranian ‘judges of death’ gunned down in Tehran

Tehran: It was a shocking scene when two judges were shot dead inside the supreme court. The judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, were infamous for their harsh rulings, including death sentences.

The attack happened on a Saturday morning. An armed man entered the court and opened fire before taking his own life. The Iranian judiciary called it a “planned assassination” and said the shooter had no business being there.

Authorities are still trying to figure out why this happened. They mentioned that the assailant didn’t have any cases in the court, which raises a lot of questions. No one has claimed responsibility yet, but they’re not ruling out foreign involvement.

Both judges had a long history of issuing severe sentences. Moghiseh, in particular, was known for his role in prosecuting political prisoners after the 2009 protests in Iran. Razini had also faced threats before, including a car bombing attempt back in 1999.

After the shooting, the building was evacuated, and the investigation began. Many people are talking about the judges’ pasts, with some former prisoners sharing their experiences on social media. It’s a complicated situation, and the fallout from this incident is likely to be significant.
