Iran's parliament has approved legislation criminalizing interviews with media outlets deemed hostile to the Islamic Republic, including U.S. and Israeli sources, with penalties of six months to two years in prison. The bill also imposes notification requirements for other foreign contacts and expands penalties for certain economic and policy activities directed by foreigners. It requires review by the Guardian Council to become law.
