Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has met senior commanders of the country’s armed forces and issued what his office described as “important and strategic orders”, according to a statement posted on his official X account. The account said details of the directives would be published shortly. Meanwhile, Iran’s judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei has called for swift legal proceedings against people accused of collaborating with the country’s enemies. Speaking on state broadcaster IRIB, he said cases involving alleged betrayal and the passing of information to hostile states should be handled “with the utmost precision and justice”. His remarks come amid a sweeping crackdown following the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran in February.
