Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have said that 12 people had been arrested for being operatives collaborating with Israel and planning acts against Iran’s security, Reuters reports.

“As the Zionist regime (Israel) and their Western backers, most notably the United States, have not succeeded in their sinister goals against the people of Gaza and Lebanon, they are now seeking to spread the crisis to Iran with a series of actions planned against our country’s security,” the statement said.

The Revolutionary Guards added that members of the network of 12 operatives were arrested in six different Iranian provinces, but did not say when.
