According to reports from Iranian media, the new spokesperson for the judiciary announced in his first press conference the formation of five legal cases against certain figures due to their stance against the 'Promise of the Truth' operation, which refers to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' missile strikes on Israeli territory. Asghar Jahangir claimed that the operation, which the Islamic Republic officials refer to as 'Promise of the Truth,' was 'honorable' and, according to him, 'supported by all people.' He stated that if 'a few individuals wish to play a discordant tune, the judiciary will intervene as soon as reports and complaints are made by relevant authorities.' Jahangir mentioned that in this context, complaints have been raised by various agencies, leading to the formation of five cases, with individuals summoned to the prosecutor's office and charges explained to them. In recent years, the Islamic Republic has intensified its crackdown on activists in cyberspace. Accordingly, in cases such as the attack on Israel and events surrounding the anniversary of Qassem Soleimani's death, which are highly sensitive for the government, swift action has been taken against opponents and critics. This occurs despite the Islamic Republic's constant claim of having the 'highest' level of 'freedom of expression' in Iran. In this context, last December, a pediatric specialist in Bojnord was arrested after posting a picture of 'cutlet' on his Instagram page. The intelligence forces of the IRGC in Yazd also arrested a pharmacy student at the Medical Sciences University in this city for posting a critical tweet about the explosions that occurred on the anniversary of Qassem Soleimani's death in Kerman. Hossein Aghaei: The Islamic Republic's attack on Israel was a comprehensive failure. The U.S. State Department's deputy spokesperson: The Islamic Republic remains one of the 'largest exporters of terrorism.' A conversation between Biden and Netanyahu occurred two weeks after the 'successful defense' against the unprecedented attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel.
