Iran Arrests 22 for Alleged Ties to Israeli Spy Network
“22 people were identified and arrested on charges of being linked to the Zionist regime’s spy services, disturbing public opinion and supporting the criminal regime,” the agency said, citing the head of police intelligence in Iran’s Qom province.
It came after Iranian police announced the arrest on Thursday of 24 people accused of spying for Israel and of seeking to tarnish the country’s image, according to a statement carried by Tasnim news agency.
A European national was also arrested for spying, Tasnim reported on Friday, without giving their nationality or the date of the arrest.
Iran regularly announces arrests of suspected spies. Several have been executed in recent weeks.
Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights said at least 223 people have been arrested nationwide on charges related to collaboration with Israel, cautioning that the actual figure was likely higher.
