Tehran: Chief Justice Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei has called on relevant departments and officials to seriously confront the enemies by neutralizing their conspiracies against the country.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, in a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary on Monday, Mohseni-Ejei stressed the need to recognize the enemies and their plots, stating, ‘We have a very important and serious duty and responsibility in this regard, which has also been strongly emphasized by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.’

He emphasized the importance of explaining to everyone in a principled, reasoned, and convincing manner the root cause of the US regime’s hostility towards the Islamic Republic, noting that some people believe that looking to the US will resolve issues and problems.

The judiciary chief warned of the need for vigilance to avoid being deceived, highlighting the necessity of correctly identifying friends and enemies. He cautioned, ‘Sometimes the enemy has an iron fist in a velvet glove.’

Referring to recent deadly attacks in Iranshahr, Sistan, and Baluchestan, Mohseni-Ejei offered condolences to the victims’ families and urged responsible departments and agencies to uncover the roots of such crimes and eliminate their perpetrators.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the head of the judiciary called for support to help the government resolve people’s issues and problems, advocating for unity and cohesion among people, in line with the guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
