The Iranian regime’s judiciary says that by judicial order, the assets of 40 individuals accused by the regime of acting against the country’s security and stability have been confiscated. The judiciary claimed that these assets were seized in line with protecting public rights for the benefit of the people and would be used for the “reconstruction of damaged locations.”
The judiciary has not disclosed the names of these 40 individuals. The Justice Department of Hamedan province had also announced on Thursday, April 9, the confiscation and seizure of the assets of 25 individuals.

The details of the legal proceedings leading to the confiscation of these individuals’ assets remain unclear. However, in recent weeks, the judiciary has on several occasions published lists of individuals—mostly residing outside Iran—accusing them of supporting war efforts.
As the confiscation of assets intensifies against individuals from a wide range of social backgrounds—including journalists, former actors, political activists, and artists—the Iranian regime’s judiciary has also begun taking measures to prevent the transfer of assets.
Previously, Iran’s State Organization for Registration of Deeds and Properties issued a directive to notary offices requiring that any transfer of property based on powers of attorney issued by the Iranian regime’s consulates since February 28 must first receive approval from the Office of the Attorney General.
Less than a month ago, the attorney general of the Iranian regime announced that a judicial order had been issued to the Foreign Ministry to suspend, until further notice, the processing of powers of attorney for the transfer of assets belonging to Iranians living abroad through an online system.
