Iran arrests 12 individuals for collaborating with Israel

The Revolutionary Guards attributed the arrests to a perceived threat from Israel and its Western allies, particularly the United States, suggesting that these entities are attempting to extend regional crises into Iran. The arrests were made across six Iranian provinces, although the specific timing was not disclosed. The backdrop of these arrests includes the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which Iranian officials have blamed on Israel, although Israel has not claimed responsibility for the act. The situation reflects the heightened state of alert and security concerns within Iran as regional conflicts intensify.
