Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.

It comes after what officials describe as an unprecedented infiltration of Iranian security services by Israeli agents.

Authorities suspect information fed to Israel played a part in a series of high-profile assassinations during the conflict. This included the targeted killings of senior commanders from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists, which Iran attributes to operatives of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency working inside the country.

>I also heard Israel was encouraging Iranian women to reveal their hair in public, fomenting a counter-revolution.

Broken clocks are right twice a day.

Not without mentioning the 'unprecedented attack on October 7th' to justify the genocide.

Wonder if the BBC will describe the much higher number of daily murders in Gaza as *waves of executions*?

Many Mossad agents were Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban. They were bought for as little as $200.

IRGC: ISRAEL YOU BETTER NOT HURT US OR WE'LL KILL MORE OF OUR OWN CITIZENS!!!1

They have every right to defend themselves. I also heard Israel was encouraging Iranian women to reveal their hair in public, fomenting a counter-revolution.
