Iran Suspends Power of Attorney for Property Transfer Abroad
The Prosecutor General of Iran has announced a judicial order halting the issuance of powers of attorney for the transfer of Iranian property to abroad through the 'Clove' electronic system. This directive aims to restrict the material interests of certain foreign entities and individuals. The official cited the law on intensifying punishments for espionage as the legal basis for this measure, warning that it could lead to the confiscation of assets belonging to those involved. This move represents a significant tightening of financial controls and property regulations within the country, potentially impacting Iranians seeking to manage or transfer assets internationally. The decision underscores the government's heightened security posture and its willingness to use economic measures as tools for national security enforcement. By blocking these legal instruments, authorities aim to prevent potential capital flight or asset transfers that could be linked to espionage activities or perceived threats to national interests. The announcement highlights the intersection of legal procedure, property rights, and national security policy in Iran's current political climate.
