Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Mohammad Hossein Khatami (often referred to as 'Hatami') issued a statement praising the Islamic Republic's judiciary on the occasion of Judiciary Week, calling it a manifestation of 'purity, piety, and divine justice' that protects the weak and defends the nation against oppression by the United States and the West, according to Iranian Telegram channels.
Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Mohammad Hossein Khatami released a statement Tuesday morning praising the Islamic Republic's judiciary, calling it a manifestation of 'purity, piety, and divine justice on earth' that protects the weak and defends the Iranian nation from exploitation by 'the oppressors (the US and the West).' The remarks were made on the occasion of the annual 'Judiciary Week,' according to Iranian Telegram channels.
The statement aligns with long-standing Iranian revolutionary doctrine that positions the judiciary as a pillar of the regime's ideological and political authority. Khatami's framing echoes similar statements by other senior Iranian officials, including judiciary chief Mohseni Ejei, who earlier this month described diplomacy as an 'extension of struggle.' The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian officials' emphasis on the judiciary's role in defending the regime against perceived foreign threats.
The source material does not specify whether the statement was delivered in a speech, a written message, or a letter. No independent confirmation or further detail from official Iranian state media is yet available.
