Iran's Judiciary Chief Warns of Readiness to Fight if US Breaks Deal

Speaking to a gathering of Iran’s Supreme Court judges and staff on Tuesday, Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei stated that despite agreeing to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States aimed at ending aggression, Iran will remain vigilant and respond decisively to any breaches by the enemy. He described the enemy as "treacherous, villainous, and criminal" and emphasized that it cannot be trusted under any circumstances. Ejei asserted that Iran would be ready to resume fighting if the enemy breaks its promises during the 60-day negotiation process that begins after the signing of the MoU on Friday. The talks will cover Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. He also stressed that Iranian representatives will not compromise the rights of the Iranian nation during the negotiations. According to Mehr News, the top judicial official, who also leads one of the three branches of government, made these remarks in Tehran.
