Six detained in Iran on suspicion of espionage for Israel – Reports

Tehran, June 24 (UNI) Six people have been detained in Iran on suspicion of working for Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad, Iranian news agency Fars reported on Tuesday, citing an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) official.
"Six people working for the Mossad intelligence service were detected and detained in the cities of Razan, Nahavand and Hamadan," the official was quoted as saying by the news agency.
The suspects tried to create public unrest in cyberspace, the official specified.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on June 13, when Israel launched a large-scale operation against Iran, accusing it of implementing a secret military nuclear program. Tehran retaliated by launching Operation True Promise III, hitting military targets inside Israel. On June 22, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, joining Israel's campaign against Iran. US President Donald Trump said after the attack that Tehran "must now agree to end this war" or face far more serious consequences.
On Monday, Iran launched a missile strike on the US's Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in response to the US attack. Trump said late on Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire that would, after 24 hours, be an official end to the 12-day war. On Tuesday, Trump said that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was now in effect, urging the sides not to violate it.
