Iran Threatens Citizens with 1-10 Years in Prison for Sharing Footage of Israeli Strikes on 20 Military Sites

Oct 26, 2024, 11:40 AM

The Iranian government has issued a stern warning to its citizens, threatening prison sentences ranging from 1 to 10 years for those who share footage of recent Israeli airstrikes with Western media. This move, attributed to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reflects the regime's ongoing efforts to control information and suppress dissent following Israel's strikes on 20 key military sites in Iran. The regime claims to have successfully repelled these strikes, yet simultaneously seeks to penalize individuals who document and share evidence of these military actions, highlighting a contradiction in its narrative of military strength and its fear of external scrutiny.
