Iranian Judiciary
The Iranian Judiciary is the system of courts and legal institutions in Iran responsible for administering justice and interpreting laws. It operates under the principles of Islamic law and is overseen by the Supreme Leader, who has significant influence over judicial appointments and decisions. The judiciary includes various courts, such as the Revolutionary Courts and General Courts, which handle different types of cases.
Judges in the Iranian judiciary are typically trained in Islamic jurisprudence and must adhere to the laws set forth in the Islamic Republic's Constitution. The judiciary also plays a role in upholding the values of the Islamic Revolution and can impose strict penalties for offenses deemed contrary to Islamic principles.
