Iran’s head of the judiciary says there should be no leniency or delay in issuing verdicts against those affiliated with Israel and the United States, AFP reports.
“We must not delay or show leniency in executing final verdicts against those who, during wartime and unrest, committed crimes and were affiliated with the aggressor enemy,” said Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei, according to Tasnim news agency.
He added that it was “necessary to accelerate the review and resolution of cases involving elements accused of threatening public security.” Authorities have in recent weeks carried out sweeping raids across Iran, arresting in the last few days hundreds of people suspected of cooperating with Israel and the United States, local media reported.
