Iran's judiciary chief says diplomacy is an 'extension of struggle' in defiant speech

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:07

TL;DR

Iran's judiciary chief, Mohseni Ejei, said Tuesday evening that Iran's diplomacy is an extension of its battlefield struggle, and that policymakers are negotiating with "full awareness" because the enemy does not keep its promises. His remarks, reported via Iranian Telegram channels, reiterate Tehran's long-standing post-revolutionary doctrine that negotiations are a continuation of armed conflict by other means.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei delivered a speech Tuesday evening reiterating the Islamic Republic's core doctrinal stance: that diplomacy is an extension of the confrontation on the battlefield and in the streets. "We know the enemy does not keep its promises," Ejei said, according to reports from Iranian Telegram channels. "Our policymakers are conducting negotiations with open eyes and full alertness." The remarks closely mirror a statement The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday at 19:31 Jerusalem, in which Ejei made nearly identical points — underscoring the regime's consistent public messaging.

Ejei's latest comments add a sharp edge, calling on the state to channel all its capacity into serving the people while insisting the enemy knows "who it is dealing with." The speech aligns with a broader Iranian leadership line in recent days: President Masoud Pezeshkian and parliamentary figures have all stressed that the ultimate decision on war or negotiation rests with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and that Tehran will not yield to pressure.

Ejei's statement carries no operational update on any ongoing talks; it is a doctrinal affirmation from Iran's senior judiciary figure, signaling no policy shift.
