Iran's Judiciary Linked To Power And Repression

Al Araby Radio reports that Iran's foreign ministry is now in a position to execute but not decide, suggesting a power struggle within the system. The situation is described as an exchange of messages rather than direct negotiations, with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard holding control and unwilling to make concessions. This indicates a potential difference between the foreign ministry and the decision-making bodies. This situation follows large-scale attacks last year. The ministry's lack of power is a critical security concern. Iran's Foreign Ministry has been stripped of its power to make decisions regarding executions. This power structure began its extensive expansion and hurried trials in the first years after the revolution, leading to the imprisonment of thousands of political prisoners.
