Iran passes tougher spy penalties, drone restrictions

Shafaq News – Tehran

On Wednesday, Iran approved laws
that toughen penalties for espionage tied to Israel and impose new rules on
civilian drones.

In a statement, Guardian Council
Spokesman Hadi Tahan Nazif said the legislation raises punishments for
collaborating with Israel and other adversaries, while the drone law regulates
non-military aircraft that Tehran says were used in recent sabotage operations
inside the country.

The measures follow Iran’s execution
of several alleged Mossad agents accused of providing intelligence on sensitive
sites later hit in Israeli strikes during the 12-day war.
