Iran urges foreign residents to report Israel collaborators, warns undocumented migrants

Foreign nationals legally residing in Iran should report anyone suspected of collaborating with Israel, Prosecutor General Mohammad Movahedi Azad said on Saturday, adding that those who come forward voluntarily may be granted “leniency.”

Movahedi Azad also urged undocumented foreign residents to leave the country promptly. “Those who remain illegally will face legal action,” he said.

Iranian officials and state media frequently use the term “foreign nationals” to refer to Afghan migrants.
