Beyond its borders, Tehran claimed to have documented the “criminal activities” of 15 Persian-speaking citizens living abroad, labeling them “agents” of Israel and forwarding their cases to the judiciary. The Iranian government issued a stern warning to its diaspora, stating that any cooperation with entities linked to the U.S. or Israel could result in the “confiscation of their property” within Iran. This latest wave of arrests follows the start of “Operation Epic Fury” on February 28, as Tehran continues to claim that foreign-backed attempts are being made to destabilize the country through civil disruption and high-stakes espionage.
