Iran judiciary warns of infiltrators and announces new executions under security law

Security‑related cases are increasingly being brought before the courts under a statute that was introduced in the aftermath of last year’s 12‑day war with Israel. The legislation, announced shortly after the brief but intense conflict, expands the definition of security offences and grants prosecutors broader powers to pursue charges ranging from alleged terrorism support to unauthorized possession of weapons.

Since its enactment, the law has been applied to a growing number of defendants, prompting both domestic and international observers to note its impact on the legal landscape. Authorities say the measure is intended to strengthen national security and deter future hostilities, while critics argue that its wide scope may undermine due‑process safeguards. The continued use of the law underscores the lasting legal and political repercussions of the recent war.
