Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence unit has detained 103 people since the start of the war involving the United States and Israel, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency. The report described those arrested as “American-Zionist mercenaries” and said 90 of them were accused of sending coordinates of sensitive sites and photos of strike locations to what Iran called hostile media outlets.
Tasnim said four suspects were accused of planning sabotage against Tehran’s power grid. Another four people allegedly linked to Iranian monarchist groups were accused of trying to stir unrest in the streets. A separate group of five was said to have been preparing armed attacks on checkpoints.
The report also said authorities had taken action against 16 people suspected of trading Starlink equipment and against 400 others over alleged efforts to bypass internet restrictions. Iranian officials have tightened control over communications as the conflict has escalated.
According to the source, the joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran began on February 28 and has targeted military sites, oil and gas infrastructure, and the electricity system. The report also claimed that several senior figures in Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, were killed. Iran has meanwhile continued strikes against Israel, US bases in the region, and energy facilities in Gulf countries.
