ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Iran seized the assets of 19 people in Kurdistan province over allegedly sending images of sensitive locations to Israel, state media reported Friday, further accusing them of sending impact sites to media affiliated with “the enemy.”

“Enemy collaborators took videos and photos of sensitive locations and the impact sites of enemy projectiles and sent them to media accounts affiliated with the enemy, including hostile satellite networks and channels and user accounts affiliated with spy services,” head of Kurdistan province’s judiciary Hojjat al-Eslam Hossein said, according to state media.

“These individuals will be tried and punished with certainty, and they will not be granted the slightest leniency,” he added.

Iran has taken strict measures to suppress dissent, carrying out a mass campaign of confiscating assets, including of more than 600 Iranians, the majority of whom live abroad, on charges of treason and supporting hostile actors against the state.

In April, Iranian judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei warned that cases of those allegedly collaborating with the United States and Israel should not be handled through “normal procedures,” and ordered that they be dealt with “exceptionally and specially in all stages.”

Tehran, during periods of heightened tension, carries out waves of arrests on alleged espionage charges.

Iran has a long history of broadcasting confessions that human rights groups say are coerced, often obtained through threats, psychological pressure and, in some cases, physical torture.
