In a Sunday message issued on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and his companions, designated as the Judiciary Week, Ayatollah Khamenei said one of the most important legal and judicial issues facing the entire Iranian nation at the present time is pursuing and restoring those rights violated by “international criminals and arrogant and aggressive powers.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Leader said that safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people extends beyond individual legal matters and includes defending the country’s collective rights against crimes committed by foreign aggressors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said the Judiciary in the Islamic Republic has the responsibility to protect people’s rights, revive public rights and legitimate freedoms, combat corruption, enforce justice, uphold divine laws, and oversee the implementation of the law.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Success in carrying out those duties, he said, would strengthen public trust in the judicial system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Turning to the country’s most pressing legal challenge, Ayatollah Khamenei said pursuing the rights violated by international criminals and global aggressors, particularly since last year, is among the Judiciary’s foremost responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said the blood of those killed in the two wars of aggression against Iran – waged by the United States and Israel in June 2025 and February 2026 – together with the physical, psychological, material, and spiritual damage inflicted on Iran and its people inside and outside the country, forms the basis for hundreds or even thousands of significant legal cases.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

“What is certain is that the criminals must be brought to justice and made to face the consequences of their criminal acts,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Leader further argued that statements by certain American and Israeli leaders acknowledging, and even openly taking pride in, such acts constitute admissions of crimes that strengthen the legal basis for restoring the Iranian nation’s violated rights.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ayatollah Khamenei also said that implementing the martyred Leader’s directive during his final meeting with judicial officials last year to investigate crimes committed during the 2025 war should now be extended to the latest imposed war and pursued continuously until judgments are issued and enforced by competent authorities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to the Leader, such legal action would help prevent the recurrence of similar crimes in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
