In a joint message released on Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Speaker of the Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, and Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei admired the insightful and noble Iranian nation for nullifying the most complicated plots hatched by the enemies against the integrity of a strong and independent Iran.

They lauded the Iranian people’s awareness in making a clear distinction between protestors and rioters, adding that the sacrifices made by the law enforcement, Basij forces and IRGC servicemen stymied the sinister scenario of those who had masterminded the bitter incidents in Iran.

The president, the Judiciary chief and the Parliament speaker promised to scrutinize the recent terrorist incidents, detect the causes of their occurrence, give decisive punishment to the murderers and terrorists with utmost justice and fairness, and show Islamic mercy to the individuals that have been deceived without having a major role in the terrorist incidents, according to Tasnim.

The three officials also reaffirmed commitment to making concerted efforts to resolve the economic and livelihood problems and ensure public security.
