TEHRAN – Iran’s Judiciary Chief, Gholamhussein Mohseni-Eje’i, has called for the rapid and precise handling of all judicial cases involving individuals accused of ties to Israel’s regime, following a series of unprovoked Israeli attacks targeting Iran.
“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.”
The call comes after Israel’s military launched strikes starting June 13 against Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. The United States also conducted air raids on three Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating tensions further.
Iranian security forces have dismantled multiple sabotage cells linked to Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, seizing Israeli-made Spike anti-tank missiles, suicide drones, and explosives. Operations targeting drone workshops and bomb-making sites have been conducted in Tehran, Isfahan, Alborz, Mazandaran, and other provinces.
Authorities say these cells planned attacks on critical infrastructure and residential areas. Iranian officials accuse Mossad of funding terrorist groups, orchestrating assassinations, and conducting espionage inside Iran.
Mohseni-Eje’i described the recent aggression as a multilayered conspiracy by the enemy to destabilize Iran but said, “the awareness and loyalty of the people neutralized the plots at the outset.”
He noted, “The enemy deliberately targeted key centers hoping to spark unrest and chaos, but in reality, people from different classes and political views—all emphasizing adherence to the leadership—helped preserve the Islamic Republic. As a result, the enemy’s conspiracy did not come to fruition.”
Highlighting national unity, Mohseni-Eje’i said, “We today face the most hostile enemies of God and humanity. This is both difficult and sweet; humiliating these malicious enemies will bring us a special satisfaction.”
He credited the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s military and security forces, and the nation’s unity for thwarting the adversaries’ 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 urged the judiciary to vigorously pursue those responsible for the attacks both inside and outside Iran.
Mohseni-Eje’i emphasized that despite the heightened security environment, “under no circumstances should we deviate from justice, fairness, and legal principles.”
He added, “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.”
Since June 13, Iranian security forces have arrested dozens on suspicion of ties to Israel. Mohseni-Eje’i noted that some cases may predate the recent aggression and could span 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.”
