Head of the Judiciary: The enemy seeks to incite sedition, deceive, exaggerate minor issues, and portray falsehood as truth

According to the Judiciary’s Media Center, Mohseni Ejei, speaking on Monday (October 13) at the meeting of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, referred to the enemy’s activities in the psychological warfare arena, saying:

“Our enemies, particularly the Americans and the Zionists, failed in their recent plots and military aggression against our nation. Since their malicious goals were not achieved, they have now shifted their focus to Iran’s domestic issues. They seek to preoccupy and mislead our public through psychological operations, rumor-mongering, and by blending truth with falsehood—diverting attention from the nation’s real priorities.”

Ejei stressed the need for vigilance: “We must be extremely alert and avoid playing, even unintentionally, into the enemy’s hands. The evidence and confessions of our enemies show that they aim to distract us domestically. We must not forget our main and most urgent issues—the economy and the people’s livelihood. Another key priority is strengthening public security, as well as national unity and cohesion. The enemies are making every effort to undermine both the psychological and physical security of our citizens, to damage our national unity, and to weaken our attachment to religious and revolutionary values. They also seek to normalize lawbreaking and immoral behavior. We must foil this plan and ensure we do not move in the direction the enemy desires.”

The Judiciary chief elaborated on the enemy’s methods in psychological warfare, stating: “The enemy is intent on inciting sedition, deceiving, exaggerating trivial matters, and presenting falsehood as truth. Therefore, we must maintain complete vigilance, awareness, and commitment to the ‘jihad of clarification.’ Through truth-telling, awareness-raising, and dissemination of facts, the enemy’s scheme will once again fail. At the same time, we must pay serious attention to the military domain, as the enemy seeks to occupy us with secondary and irrelevant issues to divert our focus from the main challenges.”

Discussing social and economic justice, Ejei said: “Social justice remains one of the system’s key priorities, and it is deeply intertwined with economic justice. Our goal in economic justice must be to ensure a dignified, balanced, and sustainable livelihood for the people.”

He also marked the 44th anniversary of the General Inspection Organization (GIO), stating: “The General Inspection Organization plays a decisive and fundamental role in promoting social justice, ensuring proper implementation of laws within state institutions, and preventing corruption and deviation. Over the past decades, this organization has made valuable contributions in fulfilling its legal duties. Today, in alignment with the Judiciary’s Transformation and Excellence Document, the GIO operates systematically and programmatically, combining its past experiences with modern, scientific, and professional methods to identify weaknesses and corruption-prone areas—and, thanks to God, it has achieved significant successes.”

Ejei emphasized that the GIO’s purpose is not punitive but corrective: “It must become an ingrained belief—especially among officials and managers—that the Inspection Organization’s purpose is not fault-finding but helping improve affairs and prevent corruption. The GIO must demonstrate this through its actions, and officials across the branches of government must embrace its role as a partner in progress and heed its constructive recommendations.”

In closing, the Judiciary chief highlighted the importance of media coordination and preventive considerations in all institutional plans:

“Before implementing any initiative or organizational plan, officials in various departments of the Judiciary must inform the Media Center and the Deputy for Social Affairs and Crime Prevention, consulting them about preventive and media aspects. All potential benefits and possible drawbacks of these plans should be evaluated in advance.”
