Hassan Ali Akhlaqi Amiri, a representative from the city of Mashhad in the Iranian Parliament and a member of the Culture Commission, declared that the harshest punishments will be applied to citizens who stand on the "enemy side" in the war against the Islamic Republic.
Medianews.az reports, citing Musavat.com, that Amiri officially warned that those who betray the state will be deprived of both citizenship and all property rights.
Hassan Ali Akhlaqi Amiri stated that the era of "forgiveness" is over for those who cooperate with Israel and other enemy states and harm Iran's national security and interests. "Collaboration with Israel and actions against national interests lead to confiscation of property and may ultimately result in deprivation of citizenship," the deputy emphasized.
This statement was made immediately after two members of the "People's Mojahedin" organization in Tehran were executed on charges of collaborating with Israeli intelligence, and following Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last shah, calling the people to disobedience. Through this, the authorities intend to prevent the wave of protests supported from abroad and completely neutralize the "fifth column" inside the country.
Experts note that the threat of deprivation of citizenship is especially a pressure tool against Iranian citizens living abroad who sharply criticize the regime. This creates a legal basis for freezing their bank accounts in Iran and confiscating family properties for the benefit of the state.
