A judge was stabbed to death on his way to work in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz on Tuesday morning, state media reported.
A report by the official IRNA news agency called the killing a "terrorist act," adding that two unidentified assailants are still at large. It identified the judge as Ehsum Bagheri, 38, who worked for the city's judicial department.
Bagheri in the past worked as a prosecutor in the revolutionary court, which court deals with security and drug smuggling cases.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack
Iran has witnessed other killings of judges in the past.
In January, a man fatally shot two prominent hard-line judges in Iran's capital Tehran, both of whom allegedly took part in the mass execution of dissidents in 1980s.

Her plan was discovered after she sought to acquire a rocket-propelled grenade to carry out the assassination, the prosecutor's office at the Tel Aviv district court wrote in the indictment.

Iran says right to enrich uranium 'unshakable,' ahead of key talks

"Especially after the recent war, it is important for them to understand that the Islamic Republic of Iran's position remains unshakable, and that our uranium enrichment will continue. We will not give up this right of the Iranian people," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency. AFP

Wave of Israeli airstrikes targets Iqlim al-Tuffah heights, area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh

by Naharnet Newsdesk 24 July 2025, 20:17 A wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights and the area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh in south Lebanon on Thursday evening, with the Israeli army claiming that the strikes hit "Hezbollah military sites, including arms depots and a rocket launchpad." The violent strikes, which have become frequent in recent months, came a day after U.S. envoy Tom Barrack departed Lebanon after a three-day visit in which he discussed the thorny issue of Hezbollah's disarmament amid Israel's continued occupation of five hills in south Lebanon and its daily assassinations against suspected Hezbollah operatives. Earlier in the day, one person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a pickup truck in the border town of Aita al-Shaab. An Israeli drone also fired two missiles on a forest area in the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Leef, sparking a blaze.
