Iran orders asset seizures targeting expatriates, including media staff
Tehran's prosecutor has ordered the identification and seizure of assets and bank accounts belonging to more than one hundred Iranians living abroad, including actors, athletes, and staff of Persian-language media outlets Iran International and Manoto.
State-affiliated news agencies said the orders include the confiscation of assets belonging to 63 managers, employees, and contributors associated with Iran International, as well as 25 staff and managers of the Manoto network.
The reports described the action as part of enforcing a law that increases penalties for espionage and cooperation with countries deemed hostile to national security.
