Absolutely. Tigers and Flies wasn’t just about restoring public trust, it was started soon after the neutralization of dozens of CIA sources, who had been uncovered with the help of Iran’s own counter-espionage.

Well deserved tbh, don’t think of the bribe money itself but what that money was used to get in terms of favours. It undermines the entire system.
Doing this to the worst cases will put a healthy fear into anyone else currently committing the same crimes and help clean up the system.
