Excerpt:
Iranians who film and share footage of [US missile strikes](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/20/us-prepares-all-out-war-iran-sending-more-jets-middle-east/) face up to 15 years in prison under new wartime security laws.
Under the legislation, publishing content that “causes public fear and terror” or works against [Iran](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/iran)’s national security could lead to 10 to 15 years in jail, along with a permanent ban from government employment.
Sending footage or information to foreign or “hostile” media, networks or websites carries a sentence of two to five years. Taking part in unauthorised gatherings during wartime could be punished with a prison term of five to 10 years.
The Islamic Republic’s judiciary said images or videos published during the [Iran war](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/iran-war) could fall under the “Law on Intensifying Punishment for Espionage and Cooperation with the Zionist Regime and Hostile States Against National Security and Interests”.
The warning came as families of prisoners sentenced to death protested outside a prison in Tehran, calling on officials to review [death sentences that had been handed down](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/05/20/protesters-face-imminent-hanging-iranian-executions/) and halt the executions.
Who would have thought that providing the enemy with free battle damage assessment would be a punishable offense during wartime? (Let’s ignore the fact that the enemy in this case can get very accurate data itself)
In the other war, both Russia and Ukraine are doing the same.
The crackdown on strike footage isn’t really about protecting military intelligence, it’s about making sure citizens only see the version the regime approves.
This happens is Saudi and UAE too, no?
I mean its the same for all of us in neighboring countries that Iran is attacking. No videos allowed
How do you expect Iranians to overthrow the Islamic Republic?
Lotta yankers in here acting like their police won’t arrest them for filming any number of things.
Dude that’s basic OPSEC that any country will follow. Ukraine basically does the same thing today.
It’s actually insane that we’ve started such an unjust war that our media conglomerates have to pump out propaganda and spin-pieces to condemn a globally recognized terrorist organization.
You know it’s bad when your country makes the IRGC look like they have the moral high ground.
