- Iran has arrested 500 accused spies at its security checkpoints.
- Israeli forces’ strike on IRGC checkpoints in Tehran was aided by intelligence from Iranian informants.
- Iranian authorities say several detainees shared military locations and strike footage.
Iran Police chief Ahmadreza Radan said roughly half the cases involved serious incidents. Some detainees allegedly provided target locations used in recent strikes. Others reportedly filmed impact sites and transmitted the footage to external contacts.
Iranian media also reported additional arrests across several regions. Prosecutors in northwestern Iran detained twenty individuals on similar accusations. Officials claim they sent location data about military and security installations to Israel.
Reports suggest many occurred in recent days, and Investigations remain active as the conflict continues to expand.
Regional Arrests Linked to Intelligence Sharing
According to a report, Several arrests occurred outside the primary strike zones, where officials detained ten individuals suspected of collecting data on strategic locations.
Authorities said the suspects monitored economic infrastructure and sensitive facilities. Investigators believe the information could support foreign targeting operations.
The northeastern region experienced fewer airstrikes compared with western Iran, where three people were detained in Lorestan province for attempting to disturb public opinion.
Prosecutors also said they tried to burn mourning symbols during the ongoing crisis.
Security agencies argue that intelligence networks may operate during wartime disruptions. Iranian officials say informants sometimes collect visual evidence of strike locations. That material can then circulate through encrypted communication channels.
Israel Targets IRGC Checkpoints Using Informant Intelligence
Reports indicate that Israeli forces recently expanded their military strategy. A source briefed on operations said informants helped identify specific targets. These tip-offs reportedly guided attacks on security checkpoints inside Tehran.
Israeli strikes targeted the checkpoints mainly operated by the Basij paramilitary force units, which operate under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command structure.
Israeli officials say their campaign focuses on weakening Iran’s military infrastructure. Operations have involved coordinated airstrikes with the United States. The broader objective includes reducing Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously described wider goals for the campaign. He said Israel seeks conditions that could allow political change inside Iran.
However, Iran’s leadership has shown no indication of relinquishing, and military operations and security crackdowns remain active across the country.
