Mohammad Movahedi-Azad (Persian: محمد موحدی آزاد; born 6 September 1960) is an Iranian cleric and judge, currently serving as the Prosecutor-General. During the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, he played a prominent role, labeling protesters "enemies of God" and saying that "the provocateurs will be tried and punished in accordance with all legal procedures." In January 2026, the European Union proposed sanctions against Azad for threatening protesters with death sentences.
