<h1>Gunman in Tehran Kills Two Judges Linked to 1988 Executions; Investigation Underway Amid Economic and Geopolitical Tensions.</h1> A gunman in Tehran fatally shot two hard-line judges linked to the 1988 mass executions of dissidents, according to state media. The judges, who served on Iran's Supreme Court, were clerics involved in controversial trials following Iran's war with Iraq. The attack, which also injured a bodyguard, ended with the gunman committing suicide. No group has claimed responsibility, though one judge had previously survived an assassination attempt in 1999. The incident occurs amid Iran's economic struggles and geopolitical tensions. Investigations are ongoing to identify those behind the attack, which is considered a rare assault on the judiciary.
