Iranian Judiciary

The Iranian Judiciary is the legal system responsible for interpreting and enforcing laws within Iran. It operates independently to administer justice, handle criminal and civil cases, and oversee the application of Islamic law (Sharia). The judiciary includes various courts, from lower courts to the Supreme Court, and is led by the Chief Justice. While it aims to ensure justice and uphold legal standards, critics often highlight concerns about political influence and restrictions on legal freedoms. Overall, it plays a central role in maintaining legal order and societal stability in Iran.
