On Saturday, Pezeshkian, who also chairs the Supreme National Security Council, expressed his deep condolences for the loss of Hojjatoleslam Ali Razini and Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Moqiseh.

He assured the nation that their sacrifices would not be forgotten and pledged that the pursuit of justice would continue unabated.
Pezeshkian has instructed security and law enforcement agencies to thoroughly investigate this “reprehensible act” and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. Key points from his statement include:
- Immediate action to investigate the shooting incident.
- Commitment to uphold justice in the face of violence.
- Focus on identifying and apprehending additional suspects involved in the attack.
As of now, the identity of the assailant, who reportedly took his own life after the attack, remains unclear, and the motive behind this heinous crime is still under investigation. Authorities are actively working to uncover more details and ensure the safety of the public.
