Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a message, offered his condolences for the “martyrdom” of both judges.

Iranian officials say a man fatally shot two prominent hard-line judges in Tehran, both of whom allegedly took part in the mass execution of dissidents in 1988.

While Moscow and Tehran have shared warmer relations for decades, a revival of the nations’ allyship occurred when the former invaded Kyiv.

Just three days before US President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, Russia and Iran have finally signed a “comprehensive partnership agreement,” a deal that had been in the works for months.

In Tehran, a gunman killed two hard-line judges involved in the 1988 mass executions, sparking concerns about targeted attacks on Iran's judiciary. The event coincides with Iran's economic challenges and shifting geopolitical climate.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian deepened military ties between their countries on Friday by signing a 20-year strategic partnership that is likely to worry the West.

The two judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, dealt with sensitive cases, a spokesman said. Moghiseh was known to handle death penalty cases for activists.

This is the first time an Iranian official has explicitly confirmed the extent of Mossad's infiltration into Iran's nuclear program.
