Court of the Islamic Republic

The Court of the Islamic Republic refers to the judicial system in Iran, which operates under Islamic law, or Sharia. It handles various cases, including criminal, civil, and family disputes, guided by Islamic principles. The judiciary is independent but influenced by religious authorities. The courts aim to enforce laws and deliver justice per Islamic values, often involving judges who are trained in Islamic jurisprudence. The system also includes specialized courts, such as those for religious offenses or political cases, reflecting Iran's blend of civil law and religious mandates.
