The Iranian Prosecutor General's Office has made a strict decision regarding its citizens living abroad who support the policies of the US and Israel against the Iranian state. According to the official statement, all assets within the country belonging to Iranians who cooperate with these countries or approve of their actions will be confiscated. Prosecution representatives stated that this is just the beginning and that stricter legal measures will be taken in the future within the framework of the law.
According to Reuters, about 5 million Iranians currently live outside Iran. Most of them are located in the US and Western European countries, and many prominent figures are harshly criticizing the Iranian leadership through social media. In particular, they are openly supporting the military operations of the US and Israel, opposing the official policy of Tehran.
Following the mass protests that began inside Iran, members of the Iranian diaspora abroad have also become active. They regularly take to the streets of American and European cities to show their support for protesters in their homeland. Official Tehran views such actions as a threat to state security. This new government decision is seen as the next step aimed at pressuring opposition-minded citizens abroad and limiting their financial capabilities.
