Acknowledging the efforts of security and law enforcement forces in identifying some Kerman crime perpetrators, Ejei thanked them and emphasized the ongoing need for diligence to apprehend all parties involved. He urged prosecutors, investigators, and relevant security personnel to take swift and appropriate actions, aiming to expedite the cases and promptly bring the criminals to justice.

Ejei also addressed the spread of false content related to the Kerman incident, pointing out those who allied with the enemy and caused discord among the people. Emphasizing the importance of pursuing such actions in accordance with the law, he urged prosecutors to take appropriate measures.

In conclusion, Ejei called for vigilance against enemy plots intending to create division and chaos among Iranians.
