Iran's Intelligence Ministry reported that 30 people accused of espionage, cooperation or carrying out operational tasks in the interests of the US and Israel have been arrested in recent days.

According to Tasnim, the ministry indicated that one of the detainees is a foreign national who was passing classified security information to two "Gulf states," which then forwarded it to the US and Israel. Another 19 people were described by the ministry as "field and media operatives linked to anti-government elements and contacts with Israel."
