Tehran, March 31 Amid the ongoing conflict with the US, Iran has warned that anyone sending photos or any information to the US and Israel will face the death penalty. This information was provided by Iran’s judiciary spokesman, Asghar Jahangir.
Asghar Jahangir said, “Providing any information to the US or Israel could result in the death penalty.”
The US targeted Iran’s oil reserves in its latest attack. Following this, US President Donald Trump shared a video of the attack. Iran’s decision came shortly thereafter.
Jahangir said in a statement published in Iranian media that under an improved espionage law passed last October, sending photos or videos to enemy governments (the US and Israel) could result in the confiscation of all assets and the death penalty.
Jahangir said, “When a photograph of the devastated area is taken, it tells the enemy that the target is in the correct location. Providing such information is tantamount to intelligence cooperation with the enemy.”
Iranian authorities previously arrested two people for allegedly sending information to the US and Israel. The Iranian government also took action in this case, executing two others who were allegedly involved in anti-national activities.
According to the Tasnim News Agency, security forces in northwestern Iran arrested two people who were accused of sending information about sensitive locations to the US-Israeli intelligence service.
The Tasnim News Agency reported that the two men had allegedly received cryptocurrency in exchange for providing information about safe locations. They were detained in the Osku area of East Azerbaijan Province and handed over to judicial authorities.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian thanked the people of Iraq after welcoming a convoy of paramilitary Iraqi forces into the country earlier this week. Pezeshkian wrote on Instagram, “The Iraqi Muslim people bravely stood with Iran in this wrongful war. This stance is not due to local constraints, but to history, identity, and shared religious values. I wholeheartedly shake hands with the Iraqi people, officials, and fighters.”
