Iran has arrested over 700 people and are accusing them of being “Israeli mercenaries” or spies, and they’ve already executed at least three Kurdish men on teh same accusation.

Here’s more from FDD:

The Iranian authorities have arrested more than 700 people since the conflict with Israel began on June 13, Iranian state media reported this week. The Fars News Agency called the detainees “Israeli mercenaries” who “were mainly operating within espionage and sabotage networks” and were “identified and arrested based on tip-offs and intelligence operations.” Tehran has not announced formal charges against the prisoners or provided evidence for its allegations.

The Islamic Republic executed three Kurdish men — Edris Ali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul — on June 25 on charges of spying for Israel, the Norway-based nonprofit Iran Human Rights (IHR) reported. Iran alleged that the three men had committed “moharebeh (enmity against god) and efsad-fil-arz (corruption on earth) through collaboration with enemy foreign states in favor of the Zionist regime.” According to IHR, the trio endured unfair trials devoid of due process after the regime extracted false confessions through torture.

IHR stated that at least six other detainees are waiting on death row on charges of espionage for Israel: Ahmadreza Djalali, Afshin Ghorbani Meishani, Rouzbeh Vadi, Naser Bekrzadeh, Shahin Vasaf, and Shahin Basami. Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian dual national, may be the most prominent defendant. First arrested in 2016, the physician crisis manager researcher had traveled from Sweden to Iran at the invitations of the Universities of Tehran and Shiraz when the regime arrested him. Djalali has spent more than nine years on death row as European efforts to secure his release have failed thus far.
