Iranian authorities have arrested members of the Bahai religious minority, accusing them of involvement in recent unrest and acts of vandalism. Officials claim a network of Bahais was operating across the country, with several members detained and others summoned for questioning. The Bahai community, Iran's largest non-Muslim religious group, has long faced accusations of espionage and persecution by the government, which considers their faith heretical. These arrests follow a period of nationwide protests and a broader crackdown on dissent, with rights groups reporting thousands of deaths during the unrest.
