In a significant development, four individuals, including two foreign nationals, have been detained in Iran's northwest, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The detainees are believed to be part of a 'U.S.-Israel-linked espionage network.'
The unidentified foreigners are accused of importing satellite internet equipment, such as Starlink—a move deemed illegal under Iranian law.
This crackdown comes in the wake of heightened tensions following a seven-week internet blackout and the arrest of hundreds of Iranians for allegedly 'cooperating with enemy states' amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli hostilities with Iran.
