Iran’s judiciary demands swift executions for alleged US, Israeli collaborators

Iran’s chief justice, Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei, on Monday ordered that no leniency be shown in prosecuting and executing individuals accused of collaborating with Israel and the United States. “We must not delay or show leniency in executing final verdicts against those who, during wartime and unrest, committed crimes and were affiliated with the aggressor enemy,” he told Tasnim News Agency.

Ejei emphasized the need to accelerate investigations and rulings in cases involving individuals suspected of threatening public security. In recent weeks, Iranian authorities have conducted widespread raids, detaining hundreds accused of ties to Israel and the US.

The measures follow the strikes by Israel and the United States on February 28, which killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and sparked a regional conflict. Iran has since retaliated by targeting US and Israeli interests across the Middle East, escalating tensions further.
