Iran Claims Four Israeli Mossad Teams Arrested
Iran’s state news agency announced on Thursday that four operational Israeli Mossad spy teams were arrested. According to the IRNA’s defense correspondent, Tehran’s Intelligence Ministry said that Iranian soldiers identified Mossad members and arrested them, claiming they were “taking advantage of the riots” in Iran.
The Islamic Republic has seen waves of protests since the Sept. 16 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman who was arrested for allegedly violating the country’s dress code.
The IRNA claimed that information about an alleged Mossad hitman in a European country will be published later.
The Iranian protests have since transformed into calls for the overthrow of Iran’s ruling clerics, presenting one of the most durable challenges to the theocracy since the chaotic years following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The regime has regularly blamed Israel and the United States for fomenting the widely popular protests, without offering evidence.
