Iran arrests dozens accused of spying for Israel amid escalating ... Dozens of people accused of collaborating with Israel have been apprehended across various regions of Iran , local media reported on Sunday, amid ongoing Israeli and US airstrikes targeting the country. In northwestern Iran, the semi-official Tasnim news agency stated that 20 people were arrested after being accused by the provincial prosecutor's office of transmitting location data on Iran's military and security assets to Israel. Further east, in a region largely untouched by the recent air campaign, Tasnim also reported the arrest of 10 individuals, some of whom are alleged to have gathered intelligence on sensitive sites and economic infrastructure.

Ceasefire brings calm but reveals Iran's bitter divides
Ceasefire brings calm but reveals Iran's bitter divides The judiciary’s official news outlet, Mizan, reported on Wednesday that Edris Aali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad Mohammad were put to death at Urmia Central Prison in northwest Iran. The three were charged with "corruption on earth" and "enmity against God," accusations often levied in cases involving alleged collaboration with foreign governments. Authorities said the men had worked to smuggle components hidden in shipments of alcoholic beverages, which they claim were ultimately used in the assassination of a high-ranking Iranian official. While Iranian state media did not name Fakhrizadeh directly in its recent coverage, the allegations correspond with earlier reports linking the men to his killing. Fakhrizadeh, a senior officer in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and a prominent figure in its nuclear development efforts, was shot dead in an attack east of Tehran in November 2020. Iran has blamed Israel for orchestrating the assassination. Contested confessions and accusations of torture Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the case. According to anexclusive report by Iran International, all three men—r…
