According To Iran News, Iran’s Judiciary Chief warned the Israeli regime and the US that annexing parts of the West Bank to the occupied territories will trigger a new Intifada (uprising) in Palestine and the region.

In an address to a Monday meeting of the Judiciary’s Supreme Council, Hojatoleslam Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi denounced the US support for the Israeli regime’s plan for annexation of the West Bank to the occupied territories.

“Such move will definitely create a new Intifada all over the occupied territories and in the region, which will make the US and the occupiers of the holy Quds regret,” the top Iranian judge noted.

He also said that while the issues concerning Palestine and the region used to be resolved at the negotiating table in the past, today the anti-Israeli resistance front and the fighters on the field have developed initiatives and will never allow the evil objectives of the arrogant powers to materialize.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in announcing a deal with his rival Benny Gantz to form a unity government, has set July 1 for the start of cabinet discussions on extending “Israeli sovereignty” to Israeli settlements, illegal under international law, in the occupied West Bank and annexing outright the Jordan Valley.

The Palestinians have already threatened to cancel existing peace agreements if Netanyahu moves forward with his plan, while the European Union foreign policy chief said annexation would be a violation of international law and force the bloc to “act accordingly”. The UN’s Middle East envoy said such a step would “ignite” the region.

“The Iranian nation has proved that it would not give in to force over any issue, and if Canada does not quit this course of action and expropriates the Islamic Republic of Iran’s assets, we will definitely launch a joint program in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary’s international department, to detect Canada’s properties,” the top judge added.

“In that case, we will certainly take action via international circles to impound and confiscate Canada’s assets,” Raeisi warned.

“We will by no means remain silent on this issue,” the Iranian Judiciary chief stated.

The comments came after a report by Global News said Canada has gifted some $30 million worth of Iranian assets to the victims of terrorist attacks it has blamed on Iran.

Meanwhile Raeisi emphasized the Judiciary’s support of producers and entrepreneurs and urged the banks to provide more facilities for producers.

He also noted that the Judiciary is trying to reduce legal cases in the courts especially cases related to the financial matters.

Raeisi went on to say that if the legal offices in the organizations and organs are activated, the number of referred cases to the courts would drop.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has issued some instructions on this issue, he said, adding that, God willing, the reform will accelerate and its details will be discussed further in the upcoming meetings of the country’s three branches of power.

“The reform of the country’s economic structure can have good effects on the internal atmosphere of the country,” Larijani went on to say.

The remarks came against the backdrop of increased tensions between Iran and the US with Washington imposing new economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The US has ratcheted up pressure on Iran since last year after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Since then, the administration of US President Donald Trump is trying to reduce Iran’s oil exports to “zero,” and has sent an aircraft carrier strike group, a bomber squad, an amphibious assault ship, and a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East to try to stack up pressure on Tehran.

Iranian officials, however, have dismissed such moves as psychological warfare, saying the country has its own ways of circumventing the American bans and selling crude oil.
