Iran's judiciary says more than 3,000 people have been arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel during the recent conflict, with assets confiscated from hundreds of suspects. Human rights groups accuse the regime of using wartime conditions to justify mass arrests and politically motivated prosecutions.
Iran's judiciary has carried out what it reports to be sweeping arrests of more than 3,000 people accused of collaborating with Israel during the recent conflict, according to i24NEWS and aligned reports. The crackdown includes asset confiscation, with 100 people reportedly stripped of their property in Isfahan province alone. Human rights organizations have condemned the arrest wave as an exploitation of wartime conditions to suppress dissent and force confessions. The development follows a pattern of arrests and executions documented by The Zioneer in prior months: in June, Iran detained 130 people over January protests and espionage, and earlier arrests targeted individuals accused of leaking classified data to 'Zionist-American' entities. While the Iranian government frames the arrests as protecting national security during what it considers a period of active hostility with Israel, independent verification of the numbers or the specific allegations remains limited, and the accusations are reported from Iranian state-adjacent outlets.
