Iran says six arrested in Hamadan for spying for Mossad

Iranian state media say six people have been arrested in the western province of Hamadan on suspicion of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

Ali Akbar Karimpour, a local official with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said the “traitor elements” were detained in the cities of Hamadan, Razan, and Nahavand.

He accused them of conducting “targeted activity” online aimed at stirring public fear and damaging the reputation of the Iranian state.

Since the war began, Iran has detained dozens of people and executed several accused of espionage for Israel.
