The Iranian government has issued a stern warning to its citizens living abroad, asserting that it will not tolerate any anti-government activities despite ongoing U.S. and Israeli strikes and rising internal unrest. Officials emphasized that Iran remains resolute and will take strict measures against those deemed threats to national security.
The office of the Iranian Prosecutor General stated that any Iranian abroad who collaborates with the U.S. or Israel, promotes their ideologies, or engages in espionage will be considered a traitor. The government warned that such individuals could face the death penalty and that their assets and bank accounts in Iran could be confiscated.
Recent attacks between Iran and Israel have sparked internal protests across the country. Citizens abroad have expressed support for these demonstrations through social media and other international platforms. Human rights organizations allege that Iran is using the warning as part of a broader strategy to intimidate and suppress dissent among both domestic and expatriate populations.
Reports indicate that hundreds of protesters already imprisoned in Iran have faced executions without proper trials. International bodies, including the United Nations and Amnesty International, have strongly condemned these actions, highlighting concerns over due process and human rights violations.
The warning has created heightened anxiety for Iranians with dual citizenship, who now face difficult choices in protecting family members and assets in Iran while avoiding actions that could be interpreted as opposition to the government. The situation underscores the broader tension between Iran’s domestic security policies and international human rights standards.
