according to xinhua news agency, iran’s islamic revolutionary guard corps announced on the 22nd12 people suspected of spying for the israeli intelligence and secret service (mossad) and undermining iran's national security were arrested in iran。

"as the (israeli) zionist regime and its western supporters, especially the united states, have failed to achieve their sinister goals against the people of the gaza strip and lebanon, they are seeking to spread the crisis to iran through a series of actions targeting our country's security," iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps said in a statement.

according to deutsche presse-agentur, the islamic revolutionary guard corps said the 12 people tried to collect secret information in six provinces of iran and pass it to mossad, but did not disclose the specific identities of these people and what information they were suspected of collecting and passing. in addition, it was not announced when the arrest operation was carried out.

since the outbreak of a new round of conflict between palestine and israel in october last year, hezbollah in lebanon and houthi armed forces in yemen, which have close ties with iran, have frequently attacked israel or targets related to israel in order to support the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas) in the gaza strip in fighting the israeli army.

at the end of july this year, ismail haniyeh, then leader of the hamas political bureau, was assassinated in tehran, the capital of iran. both iran and hamas believe that the assassination of haniyeh was carried out by israel, but israel has neither admitted nor denied the assassination of haniyeh.

on the 19th of this month, the israeli police and the national security agency announced the arrest of an israeli man who was believed to be employed by the iranian intelligence agency and was involved in the assassination plan against israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and other politicians. this man is said to have traveled to iran twice this year to listen to mission instructions and receive remuneration.

for many years, iran and israel have accused each other of engaging in espionage and sabotage. iran has announced from time to time that it has arrested people who are said to be engaged in espionage and undermining iran's national security for israeli and american intelligence agencies.
