DUBAI — Iran’s parliament approved on Sunday the general principles of a bill that would criminalize interviews and other communications with media deemed hostile to the Islamic Republic, including US or Israeli media and outlets financed by either country, Iran’s Shargh newspaper reported.
Osman Salari, a member of parliament’s judicial and legal commission, said the individual provisions of the bill, which is aimed at countering foreign intelligence influence, have yet to be debated and approved. Reports about the bill’s details should not yet be considered final, Salari told the Mizan news agency.
Under the proposed bill, interviews or participation in discussions with such media would be banned and violations would carry six months to two years in prison.
Interviews with other foreign media would require notification to the intelligence ministry, while contact with foreign embassies, offices of foreign organizations or other non-Iranian institutions without notification and written permission from the foreign ministry would be punishable by a fine and deprivation of certain social rights.
The proposed legislation would also harden penalties for economic crimes committed under the direction or supervision of foreigners, ban providing information to foreigners without intelligence ministry approval and restrict scientific cooperation with foreign institutions outside an approved list.

Sounds like the 2020 election theft blowback punishments by the deep state that foisted the joe brandon regime on us with their doxing, platform banning, lawfare, j-6ings and political witch huntings.
Think about it , they did these things to our citizens and to our President, I believe that payback is long due. Nail all these bastards good fashion.
Doesn’t it kind of prove, that telling the truth, is a revolutionary act?
I thought you were talking about Ukraine.
