In the aftermath of a 12-day war with Israel and the U.S., Iranian authorities are proposing stricter penalties for espionage and collaboration with foreign governments. This move, led by parliament and judiciary officials, seeks to combat perceived national security threats. Key elements of the proposed legislation include defining espionage actions that would favor foreign nations like Israel and the U.S. as corruption on Earth, potentially leading to the death penalty. Lawmakers aim to empower security forces to act decisively against espionage-related offenses.
"The Iranian parliament on Monday approved a plan to intensify punishment for espionage and collaborators with the Zionist regime and hostile countries against national security and interests."
"Asghar Jahangir, the Iranian judiciary spokesperson, stated that the current law on espionage is too general, causing restrictions for authorities wishing to punish those arrested during the war with Israel."
