Iran to Confiscate Assets of Diaspora Cooperating with Zionists

Asian outlets highlight Tehran’s threat but question how Iran can legally reach assets held fully abroad. They note that many Iranians in Europe, North America and Asia have property only in foreign jurisdictions, where courts may not recognize Iranian confiscation orders. These reports expect the policy to bite hardest for diaspora members who kept homes, land or inheritances inside Iran.

• •Tehran’s warning covers Iranians abroad who are said to back attacks on Iran.
• •Regional coverage notes that Iran can directly seize only assets within its territory or under its control.
• •Foreign courts in countries hosting large Iranian communities may refuse to enforce Iranian confiscation decisions.
• •Iranians with dual ties, such as property in Iran and residence overseas, face the greatest immediate exposure.
