Al-Arabia – Iranian intelligence agents have arrested several foreign-linked spies, including an “Israeli spy,” northwest of the country, an official from the intelligence ministry said on Monday.

The intelligence official, who was not named in state media reports, did not offer any further details, such as whether the “Israeli spy” in question is an Israeli national, or a non-Israeli working for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
The official also did not say when these arrests had taken place. Those found guilty by the Iranian judiciary of spying for Iran’s adversaries often face the death penalty.
East Azerbaijan is an Iranian province located in northwest Iran, with the city of Tabriz as its capital. The province, which borders Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, is home to millions of ethnic Azeris.
