Iranian state media say a man fatally shot two prominent hard-line judges in Iran’s capital in a rare attack targeting the judiciary

The two judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, dealt with sensitive cases, a spokesman said. Moghiseh was known to handle death penalty cases for activists.

Their killings, a rare attack targeting the judiciary, also come as Iran faces economic turmoil, the mauling of its Mideast allies by Israel and the return of Donald Trump to the White House on Monday.
