Two Iranian Supreme Court judges shot dead in Tehran

Two Iranian supreme court judges were fatally shot in an alleged assassination in Tehran.

Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh were shot dead after a gunman entered the court and opened fire on Saturday morning.

The court's news website said the gunman killed himself while running away from the scene.

A bodyguard was reportedly injured during the shooting.

The motive behind the attack has not yet been determined.

The BBC reported that the judges have been part of a crackdown on opposition to the Islamic government since the 1980s.
