Iran arrests 127 over alleged preparations for 'enemy attack'

According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the IRGC arrested seven suspects in East Azerbaijan province, alleging they "were preparing weapons and planning sabotage activities, while also sending coordinates of sensitive sites to their contact abroad."

Another 69 individuals were arrested in Mazandaran province, while in Kerman province, 51 others—including three "espionage teams" —were identified, it added.

Tehran has detained dozens of people on spying charges following the US-Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28, which has killed more than 3,000 people.

A recently strengthened espionage law allows the authorities to impose the death penalty on those accused of spying and confiscate their property.
