From NBC News: Iranian state-aligned media Fars News reported today that more than 700 people who it said were aligned with an Israeli spy network have been arrested over the last 12 days.
Fars referred to them as “Israeli mercenaries.”
It also reported that 10,000 drones have been seized, citing what it said were informed sources.
“Since the beginning of Israel’s attack on Iran, the Zionist regime’s spy network has been highly active in the country; Iranian intelligence and security forces managed to arrest more than 700 of them within 12 days,” Fars News reported.
One X user posted commentary on the news, speculating that Iran has arrested “innocent civilians.”
And so it starts the crackdown that everyone knew would come. Iran has arrested 700 innocent civilians in less than 24 hours for “spying for Israel”.
