Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Sunday that it has arrested 12 individuals suspected of collaborating with Israel. These arrests are part of a broader security crackdown amid rising tensions in the region.
Context of the Arrests
Kabul 24: The IRGC claims these operatives were planning actions against Iran’s security. The statement highlighted that, as Israel and its Western allies fail in their objectives in Gaza and Lebanon, they are allegedly attempting to extend their crisis to Iran.
Rising Tensions in the Region
Tensions have escalated following a recent attack attributed to Israel, which involved the explosion of communication devices used by Hezbollah members. This incident has intensified cross-border confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel, coinciding with the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Details of the Arrests
The IRGC reported that the arrests took place across six Iranian provinces, although specific dates were not disclosed. This operation follows the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, an act Iranian authorities have blamed on Israel.
