A shooting occurred at Iran's supreme court in Tehran on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of two judges. Judges Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini were killed by an armed assailant.
The assailant then took their own life. The judiciary has launched an investigation into the motive behind the attack. Preliminary findings suggest the assailant did not have a connection to the court.
A spokesman for Iran's judiciary stated that foreign involvement has not been ruled out. The incident marks a significant attack on Iran's judiciary in recent years.
The judges were known for handing down harsh sentences, including executions, during their careers. The building was evacuated following the shooting.
