2025 assassination of Iranian Supreme Court judges

On 18 January 2025, Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh, two senior Sharia judges, were shot to death at the Courthouse of Tehran which is where the Supreme Court of Iran is located in. The attack also injured another judge and a bodyguard. The perpetrator committed suicide soon after the shooting.

In a message, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei offered his condolences for the “martyrdom” of both judges. President Masoud Pezeshkian said the "terrorist and cowardly" act must be followed up quickly by security forces and law enforcement.
