Parliament Bill to Request Iranian Judiciary to Confiscate US Military, Intelligence Officials’ Properties

In a single-urgency plan approved by the parliament on Tuesday, the lawmakers blasted the US administration and military and intelligence authorities’ support for the terrorist groups in the region, and would call on the Judiciary to confiscate their properties.

The legislature approved the single-urgency of the bill today to be raised at the floor of the parliament soon. The parliament has warned to put the bill into motion if the US approves new sanctions against Iran.

The bill calls on the government to take reciprocal measures in proportion to the US hostile acts in cooperation with the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and report the results to the parliament.

The bill would also increase the budget for the General Staff of the Armed Forces to develop its missile activities and the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) to expand its anti-terrorism campaign in the region.

The bill was approved as top Military Aide to the Iranian Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi warned that Saudi Arabia, the US and Israel are hatching new plots against the region after their mercenary terrorists sustained heavy defeats in Iraq and Syria.

“The ISIL is being defeated and actually, the ISIL defeat is the failure of the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and the Zionists’ coalition in the region,” General Rahim Safavi said early this month.

Noting that insecurities stirred by the US will possibly continue in Iraq even after the annihilation of the ISIL, he said, “After the failures of the US, Saudi Arabia and the Zionists in Iraq and Syria, a new plot may start in the Persian Gulf region by the same coalition.”

In relevant remarks in December, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan warned that Israel and its allies are attempting to strengthen the terrorist groups and prolong insecurity in the region to their benefit.

“The Takfiri-terrorist stream which has been created by the Americans, the Zionists, the reactionary Arabs of the region and even certain countries like Turkey will not be confined to Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq; it is a pervasive event which distorts and threatens the global system and security,” General Deqan said in Tehran.

He said that the Zionists and the arrogant countries are making their best efforts to prolong this atmosphere because it depletes the revolutionary potential of the Muslim world.

Stressing that Iran considers the regional security as its own security, General Dehqan said, “Insecurity and chaos in the region affects security of others as well.”
