Qalibaf message to Azhei regarding judicial appointment

Story summary
The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in an official decree, appointed Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei once again to the position of Head of the Judiciary. This reappointment constitutes an extension of his tenure at the head of the country's judicial apparatus. Following this development, senior officials from all three branches of government responded and issued congratulatory messages to Mohseni Ejei.
- The Leader of the Islamic Republic, through issuing an official decree, appointed Mohseni Ejei for another term as Head of the Judiciary.
- Etemaad newspaper published the full text of the Leader's decree directly, which begins with the phrase "In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful."
- Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, issued a congratulatory message to Mohseni Ejei.
- Qalibaf wrote in his message: "The continuation of Your Excellency's management can pave the way for realizing the exalted objectives of the judicial apparatus."
- Qalibaf also described this appointment as a "fitting appointment" in his message and regarded it as a sign of "renewal of the revolutionary leader's confidence" in Mohseni Ejei.
- Qalibaf further assessed Mohseni Ejei's continued responsibility as "indicative of confidence in his valuable record" "in the path of pursuing justice and service."
- Masoud Pezeshkian, the President, also congratulated the reappointment of Mohseni Ejei as Head of the Judiciary.
- Coverage by domestic media outlets shows that both heads of the executive and legislative branches formally recognized this appointment and expressed positive reactions.. Coverage difference: Media outlets such as Young Journalists Club, Jam-e Jam, Entekhaab, and Jomhouri focused primarily on the content of Qalibaf's congratulatory message and the expressions used in it, whereas Etemaad newspaper took a different approach and proceeded to publish the original text of the Leader's decree. Shargh newspaper also, in comparison with other media outlets, reflected more details from Qalibaf's message text — including the phrase "fitting appointment" and reference to Mohseni Ejei's "record" — details that some other media outlets omitted.
