Iran’s judiciary chief said on Tuesday that legal cases against people accused of helping the country’s adversaries should be handled more quickly, Iran International reports.
Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said verdicts involving execution or confiscation of assets should be issued faster against “enemy agents.”
“The Islamic Iran is exercising its undeniable right to legitimate self-defense, and we will continue this defense in the most powerful manner possible until our national security is guaranteed,” he said.
His remarks came as Iran has intensified arrests since US and Israeli strikes began with the authorities detaining people accused of aiding adversaries.
