Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 19:13

TL;DR

Iran's chief justice, the head of the judiciary, dismissed U.S. human rights advocacy as 'ridiculous,' and accused Washington of conducting a 'war of communication, deception, and lies' alongside what he described as military crimes and economic terrorism, according to Iranian Telegram channels.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran's chief justice, the head of the judiciary, on Sunday dismissed U.S. human rights advocacy as 'ridiculous,' accusing Washington of waging a multifront campaign against Iran. In remarks carried by Iranian Telegram channels, he said the U.S. engages in military crimes, economic terrorism, and a 'war of communication, deception, and lies,' and described Americans as experts in presenting falsehood as truth and whitewashing their crimes.

The statement is the latest in a series of hostile Iranian official pronouncements toward the United States. In recent weeks, The Zioneer has reported on similar rhetoric from Iran's armed forces chief and state media, as well as ongoing disputes over a potential U.S.-Iran agreement. The judiciary chief — often referred to by the epithet 'the chief executioner of Iran' due to his role in overseeing mass executions — has not specified a particular U.S. policy or event that prompted his remarks. The statement was attributed to Iranian Telegram channels; no independent Iranian state media outlet was cited in the original post.
