The official recognition of "infiltration" as a distinct and advanced threat, requiring new legal frameworks beyond conventional espionage laws, reflects Tehran's growing awareness of sophisticated hybrid warfare tactics employed by the U.S.-Israeli axis to destabilize the Islamic Republic from within.
Iran Judiciary Spokesman Ali Kazemi stated in a press conference today, Tuesday: "Perhaps today, many classical espionage methods in the old sense are no longer being used, or if they are used, they are accompanied by infiltration methods on a large scale." He added: "To preserve the independence of sovereignty, security, and national interests, it is essential to seriously confront infiltration and its manifestations."
He noted that the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, had issued necessary warnings on this issue.
As the U.S. and its allies intensify their intelligence operations against Iran, the concept of "infiltration" has become central to the national security discourse. So, Kazemi stressed Judiciary's call for new legislation to counter modern espionage methods, including influence operations, economic penetration, and institutional subversion.
The Judiciary's emphasis on "infiltration" as a distinct security challenge reflects Iran's strategic adaptation to evolving Western intelligence tactics. Unlike classical espionage, which involves stealing secrets or recruiting agent, "infiltration" encompasses broader efforts to influence decision-making, penetrate institutions, change a country's priorities, and undermine state authority from within.
