Iran's Revolutionary Guards have arrested eight individuals suspected of attempting to transmit sensitive military information to Israel's Mossad, according to state media. The suspects allegedly provided details about key sites and senior figures during Israel's recent air campaign against Iran, which targeted nuclear facilities and killed top commanders. Authorities claim the group received specialized training from Mossad online and were apprehended in northeastern Iran before executing their plans, with materials for explosives reportedly seized.
During the twelve-day conflict with Israel, Iranian security forces launched a widespread crackdown, arresting thousands and increasing their presence on the streets. Iran has executed at least eight people in recent months on espionage charges, including a nuclear scientist accused of passing information to Israel. Human rights groups have criticized Iran for using such charges and executions as tools for political repression.
