Lawmakers Pass Law to Confront Zionist Measures

TEHRAN (Dispatches) — Iran’s parliament on Monday approved legislation barring any cooperation with the occupying regime of Israel, including the use of any Israeli computer hardware or software.
“Based on the first article of the bill, all Iranian bodies are required to use the country’s regional and international capacities to confront the Zionist regime’s measures,” an Iranian parliamentary spokesman, Hussein Naqavi Husseini, said.
According to the Fars news website, any cooperation or spying for the Zionist regime is to be considered “equal to enmity towards God and corruption on earth” and any “activities of the Israeli software platforms in Iran and using its hardware and software products is forbidden”.
The law was adopted unanimously by all legislators present, Fars reported. It also tasked the government to create a “virtual embassy” in Palestine within six months.
The law passed ahead of Friday’s annual Quds Day, which is usually marked by massive demonstrations across Iran against Israeli atrocities and expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people. It is held on the last Friday of Ramadan, which this year is May 22.
On Saturday, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said Iranians living in areas considered to be at low risk of a further coronavirus outbreak will be allowed to attend Friday prayers including Quds Day commemorations.
“Two decisions have been made for the Quds Day; first is that Quds Day will be held in 218 cities which are white cities (considered to be at low risk of an outbreak) not in the form of rallies but by presence at Friday prayers, respecting all hygiene protocols,” Rouhani said.
In Tehran, which is deemed high-risk, a “symbolic ceremony” will be performed with a motorcade supervised by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
