Iran's IRGC Arrests 10 Individuals on Espionage Charges in Northeast
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has arrested 10 individuals in the country's northeast on charges of espionage, according to Iranian media reports.
Tasnim news agency stated that the suspects were detained for allegedly gathering sensitive information, with no further operational details provided. Authorities have not disclosed the identities of those arrested, and it remains unclear whether they are linked to foreign intelligence networks.
The arrests occur amid escalating tensions due to ongoing military confrontations involving the United States and Israel against Iran. Iranian officials have warned of increased espionage activities by hostile actors seeking to exploit the conflict environment.
In recent months, Iran has stepped up internal security operations, targeting suspected intelligence networks amid concerns over infiltration and sabotage by regional adversaries.
Separately, Israeli strikes on Monday night reportedly killed senior Iranian official Ali Larijani, a former parliament speaker and nuclear negotiator considered influential in Iran's strategic decision-making. However, full confirmation and details of the incident remain contested.
