The Judicial System of Iran is based on Islamic law, specifically Sharia, and operates under the framework of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It consists of various courts, including Revolutionary Courts, which handle political and security cases, and General Courts, which deal with civil and criminal matters. The system emphasizes the role of judges, who are often clerics, in interpreting laws. The Supreme Court of Iran serves as the highest judicial authority, ensuring the uniform application of laws across the country. Additionally, the Judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches, although it is influenced by the Supreme Leader and the Guardian Council.
