Iran to confiscate assets of overseas nationals guilty of cooperating with enemy
Iran will confiscate assets and properties of those Iranian nationals living abroad who are guilty of collaborating with the enemy amid the US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic, according to the Attorney General's Office.
In a statement on Sunday, the Attorney General's Office cited a law passed in October last year that stipulates any form of cooperation with the Israeli regime, the United States or other hostile states or groups is subject to “confiscation of all property” and other legal punishments in accordance with the Islamic Penal Code.
Any intelligence or espionage activity for the aforementioned regimes, states and groups, or any of their affiliated elements, will carry the same punishment and the death penalty, it warned.
"Any operational action on behalf of the Zionist regime or hostile governments, including the US government or other hostile regimes and groups, or on behalf of any of their affiliated elements, against the country's security, warrants the confiscation of all assets, subject to the latter part of Note (5) of Article (19) of the Islamic Penal Code approved on 2013/4/21 with subsequent amendments and additions, and the penalty of execution," the law stipulates.

“Furthermore, any intelligence activity or espionage for the aforementioned regimes, governments, and groups or any of their affiliated elements warrants the confiscation of all assets, subject to the latter part of Note (5) of Article (19) of the Islamic Penal Code, and the penalty of execution."
The Attorney General's Office further emphasized that the blood of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has enhanced the unity of the nation, and thanked the public for playing an effective role in strengthening national security in the current war situation.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a joint military assault on Iran on February 28, assassinating Ayatollah Khamenei and several senior military commanders.
Since then, they have attacked military sites and civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, in terror strikes across the nation, killing more than 1,200 people.
The Iranian armed forces have launched waves of retaliatory missile and drone strikes against US military bases in regional countries that Washington has used to launch attacks against the Islamic Republic.
