Iran's Judiciary Chief Issues Stark Warning Amid US-Israeli Airstrike Tensions

In a recent statement, Iran's judiciary chief, Gholam Hosseini Mohseni Ejehei, issued a grave warning to those supporting the US-Israeli airstrike campaign against Iran. He indicated that such support could lead to severe consequences, including the death penalty for those convicted of cooperating with what he termed the enemy. This warning comes in the wake of heightened tensions and a crackdown on dissent following nationwide protests earlier this year.
