An unidentified gunman on Saturday shot and killed two judges at the Iranian Supreme Court.
The judiciary’s Mizan online website reported that a gunman infiltrated the Supreme Court in a planned act of assassination of two brave and experienced judges, saying the two judges were martyred in the act.
Mizan said the assailant killed himself after the terrorist act.
State news agency, IRNA, said that one other person was wounded.
The two slain judges are identified as Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghisseh, both of whom handled cases ffighting crimes against national security, espionage and terrorism.
Judiciary spokesman, Asghar Jahangir, said that a person armed with a handgun entered the room of the two judges and shot them.
“Individuals have been identified, summoned or arrested in connection with the incident,” he added.
The motive behind their killing was not immediately clear, but Mizan said the assailant was not involved in any cases before the Supreme Court, stressing that an investigation into the attack was underway.
Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed his condolences over the deaths, calling on the authorities to act swiftly.
“I strongly urge the security and law enforcement forces to take the necessary measures as soon as possible by examining the dimensions and angles of this reprehensible act and to identify its perpetrators,” he said.
