Tehran, June 21, 2025: Iranian authorities have detained 54 individuals accused of espionage for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency in Khuzestan province, according to the provincial prosecutor’s office. The arrests come amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, marked by recent military clashes.
According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the detained individuals are alleged to have conducted espionage activities on behalf of Israel.
