Iran opens cases against 47 citizens over alleged collaboration with Israel

Iranian authorities have opened judicial cases against 47 citizens on charges including “collaboration with Israel,” Fars province’s judiciary chief said on Thursday.

The announcement follows a report by the US-based human rights group HRANA, which said at least 823 Iranians have faced political or security-related charges since the start of the Iran-Israel war. Of those, 286 were detained over online activities, including sharing content about Israel’s attack on Iran, according to HRANA.
