Iran has arrested dozens of individuals across several provinces on accusations of spying for Israel, according to Iranian authorities. The arrests are part of what appears to be an internal security crackdown amid heightened regional tensions.

Iranian officials said the arrested individuals are accused of sharing intelligence about the locations of military sites and economic infrastructure with Israeli intelligence services. The arrests reportedly occurred across multiple provinces, though specific locations and numbers have not been fully disclosed.

The announcement comes during a period of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces recently conducted airstrikes in Iran's Meidan area in western Iran, which the IDF described on social media as targeting Iran's "terror regime."

Israel has indicated it is "expanding the scope" of its military operations against Iran, according to IDF statements. The timing of Iran's spy arrests appears connected to these broader regional security concerns.

Both countries have a history of conducting intelligence operations against each other, with periodic announcements of arrested spy networks. Iran regularly accuses Israel of running intelligence networks within its borders, while Israel has not commented on the latest arrest claims.
