TL;DR

Iran's judiciary chief, Mohseni Ejei, delivered a speech marking the anniversary of the 12-day war, stating that all branches of Iran's armed forces operated successfully under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Iranian state-linked sources. Ejei praised the military's performance, asserting they succeeded in 'cutting the neck of enemies.' He also said Iran has no trust in the United States, attributing this distrust to historical experience.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran's judiciary chief, Mohseni Ejei, used the anniversary of the 12-day war — a direct military confrontation between Iran and a US-led coalition — to deliver a speech reaffirming the regime's narrative of successful military performance and unwavering distrust of the United States. Ejei, the head of Iran's judicial branch, stated that all branches of the armed forces operated successfully under Supreme Leader Khamenei's leadership, claiming they 'cut the neck of enemies.' His remarks come amid a sustained stream of similar statements by senior Iranian officials in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported in this thread since early June, other figures — including parliamentary committee chairman Ebrahim Azizi, Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref, senior IRGC commander Sardar Shikarchi, and Khamenei's military advisor Mohsen Rezaei — have all made public assertions of Iranian strength, deterrence, and defiance toward the US and its allies. Ejei's speech adds the judiciary's voice to this coordinated messaging, reiterating the regime's baseline refusal to trust Washington. The source is a single Iranian state-linked outlet via Telegram; the speech itself is on the record. No independent corroboration of the factual claims about military performance or US casualties was available in the intake.
