Iran's parliament unanimously approved legislation on June 23 imposing stricter penalties for collaboration with hostile foreign governments and forces, including the Zionist regime.

Rouhollah Motafaker Azad, a member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's praesidium, said the bill punishing collaborators with hostile forces during wartime was previously reviewed and approved by the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, IRNA reported.

"This bill applies to individuals who have unknowingly fallen into the enemy's trap, and the Islamic Republic system has considered the necessary solutions to return them to the nation's embrace," Motafaker Azad explained.

He said parliament's urgency committee approved the bill to tighten penalties for collaborating with hostile foreign governments last week, whilst on June 23 colleagues approved the general principles without any opposition and with complete consensus.

"The details were approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly in nine articles, and the government representative also agreed with this bill," he added.

According to the legislation, individuals who collaborate with hostile forces and the Zionist regime will face specific penalties, though the exact nature of these punishments was not detailed in the announcement.

The bill's passage comes as the Islamic Republic parades several alleged spies for Israel, with at least three men being executed in recent days as part of the ongoing fight with the Israelis. 

The unanimous parliamentary approval demonstrates broad political support for tougher measures against collaboration with entities Iran considers hostile to its national interests.

The legislation also includes provisions for individuals who may have been unwittingly drawn into cooperation with hostile forces, suggesting a framework for potential rehabilitation rather than purely punitive measures.
