Iranian authorities have arrested 466 people accused of engaging in online activities that allegedly undermine national security, according to a report from the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

The arrests were announced as part of what appears to be a broader crackdown on digital activities deemed threatening by Iranian authorities. No specific details were provided about the nature of the alleged online activities or the timeline of the arrests.

The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iranian authorities and citizens using digital platforms to express dissent or organize activities. Iran has historically maintained strict controls over internet usage and social media platforms.

Iranian officials did not immediately provide information about charges filed against those arrested or whether legal proceedings have begun. The status of the detained individuals and any potential release conditions were not disclosed in the initial report.

The arrests highlight Iran's continued efforts to monitor and control online communications within its borders, particularly activities authorities view as threats to state security.
