Iran threatens death penalty, asset seizures for spying, aiding enemies
People accused of spying or cooperating with "hostile states" could face the death penalty and confiscation of all assets under a recently enhanced law, an Iranian judiciary spokesperson said, a month into the war with the United States and Israel.
Even sharing photos or videos that could aid enemy targeting may be treated as intelligence cooperation, the spokesman added.
Iranian media have reported more than 1,000 arrests over the course of the month, related to individuals accused of filming sensitive locations, sharing anti-government content online, or "cooperating with the enemy."
