This harsh stance follows a recent law passed by Iran’s Parliament, allowing the death penalty for espionage — a crime previously punished by life imprisonment. The timing is no coincidence: after Tehran’s air defense systems were weakened in recent conflicts, the regime is using these arrests as a show of strength.

Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, warn that Iran’s judiciary operates without transparency or fair process. The regime has already executed at least eight people for alleged espionage in recent months, often in secretive trials that ignore evidence and basic rights.

These actions highlight the brutal nature of the Iranian government under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where innocent civilians are imprisoned and executed as political pawns. The world must recognize this injustice and stand against Tehran’s growing wave of arbitrary executions and repression.

IsraelPress.net condemns the Iranian regime’s ruthless behavior and calls for international pressure to protect innocent lives and uphold justice.
