Assassination of Iranian two Supreme Court Judges Sparks Major Investigation

 Assassination of two Iranian Supreme Court Judges Sparks Major Investigation

Tehran, Iran – January 18, 2025

In a brazen attack that has sent shockwaves through Iran's judiciary, two senior Supreme Court judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, were assassinated inside the Supreme Court building in Tehran.



The Attack

According to official reports, an armed assailant entered the Supreme Court premises early Saturday morning and opened fire on the judges. A bodyguard was also injured during the incident. The attacker subsequently took his own life. 

Profiles of the Judges

  • Mohammad Moghiseh: Known for overseeing numerous political prisoner trials, Moghiseh was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2019 for conducting unfair trials and persecuting minority groups. He was reportedly named to the Supreme Court in 2020. 

  • Ali Razini: A prominent judicial figure, Razini survived a previous assassination attempt in 1998. He was actively involved in combating crimes against national security, espionage, and terrorism. 






Potential Motives

While the exact motive remains under investigation, both judges were involved in national security cases, including espionage and terrorism, which may have made them targets. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir noted that recent efforts to identify spies and terrorist groups have generated anger among enemies. 

Historical Context

Both judges were allegedly involved in the 1988 mass executions of dissidents, a dark chapter in Iran's history that led to the execution of thousands of political prisoners. This association has made them controversial figures both domestically and internationally. 

Ongoing Investigation

Iranian authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the assassination, aiming to uncover any accomplices and the underlying motives. Preliminary findings indicate that the perpetrator had no prior cases in the Supreme Court nor was he one of its visitors, suggesting a well-planned attack. 

This incident marks one of the most significant attacks on Iran's judiciary in recent years, highlighting the volatile intersection of justice and politics in the country.

  The Runway King: How KWAM 1’s Airport Meltdown Exposed Nigeria’s Toxic Big Man Culture On August 5, 2025, at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, a small moment became a big reckoning. King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal — KWAM 1, the legendary Fuji musician — breached aviation safety rules during boarding. It wasn’t just a celebrity tantrum. It was a perfect, high-definition snapshot of Nigeria’s most corrosive cultural disease: the “Big Man syndrome” — the belief that wealth, age, and status entitle one to suspend rules, humiliate others, and escape consequence. A Colonial Legacy Turned Cultural Code Big Man syndrome isn’t new. Its DNA comes from Nigeria’s colonial past, where British rule deliberately elevated certain traditional rulers and wealthy collaborators above the law to cheaply manage the colony. The result: a baked-in hierarchy where some people existed outside the reach of accountability. Independence didn’t kill it — it expanded it. Oil wealth, military cou...
