Based on the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in accordance with Article 172 of the Constitution, the investigation of crimes committed by members of the armed forces, including law enforcement personnel, falls under the jurisdiction of the Judicial Organization of the Armed Forces and military courts. In such a case, the behavior attributed to Seyyed Kazem Nazari—including refusing to execute an order, preventing the execution of a mission, and closing the police station door—can be prosecuted within the framework of the Law on Punishment of Crimes of the Armed Forces under titles such as “insubordination to superior orders,” “refusal to perform duty,” or “disruption of mission,” for which discretionary imprisonment is prescribed. Legally, determining the legality or illegality of the issued order lies with the presiding judicial authority according to legal procedures.
