“There is no doubt that the root cause and origin of such crimes and terrorist incidents is arrogant powers, with the criminal US being at the forefront,” Eje’i said on Monday as he expressed his deepest condolences over the assassination of several Iranian nationals in the assault.
He added, “America is the primary sponsor of the unspeakable crimes of Zionists in Gaza, and the mastermind and architect of numerous crimes worldwide.”
The top judiciary official also instructed his deputy to take necessary measures in support of the families of people who have fallen victim to the terrorist attack in Zahedan.
At least six people were killed and twenty-two others injured in Zahedan’s terrorist attack on Saturday. Iranian security forces eliminated three assailants during the ensuing clashes.
Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terrorist attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.
Terrorist groups carrying out attacks against Iranian interests in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the country are believed to be linked to foreign spy agencies.
On October 26 last year, ten members of Iran's law enforcement forces were killed in a terrorist attack in the Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County in the province.
The so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group claimed responsibility for the assault, which was one of the deadliest in the province in recent months.
Commenting on Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, Eje’i stated that deep and eternal shame rests with all advocates and sponsors of the notorious and criminal Zionist regime, which has raised oppression and crime in Gaza to its highest possible height.
“Eternal and historic shame on the countries that witness the sufferings of people and children in Gaza, but continue their commercial and financial transactions with the occupying regime and provide the Zionists with fuel, raw materials, and industrial products.
“In the meantime, international organizations, with their silence and inaction, are encouraging and emboldening the Zionist murderers to commit crimes even more than before,” Iran’s judiciary chief pointed out.
At least 59,821 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and another 144,851 individuals injured in the brutal Israeli onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the besieged coastal territory.
