Iran says it arrests dozens of ‘Israeli-linked’ individuals
Iran’s intelligence ministry said it had arrested 97 individuals it described as “soldiers of Israel,” state media reported on Thursday.
The ministry said the suspects were planning unrest with backing from what it called “US-Zionist” actors.
It also said several armed cells were dismantled in Khuzestan province and that weapons, including firearms and explosives, were seized.
Iranian officials frequently accuse opposition groups and detainees of links to Israel and foreign powers, though such claims are often rejected by human rights organizations.
