Suspected Israeli spy arrested in Iran. Take a big risk
Iran claims it has arrested a number of foreign intelligence agents, including an "Israeli spy", in the northwest of the Islamic republic.
The alleged Israeli intelligence agent was arrested in eastern Azarbaijan province, Iranian media reported Monday citing the regional head of the Iranian counter-intelligence ministry.
"An Israeli spy and several other spies with ties to the security services of various countries were arrested," said the official, who was not named in the reports.
The announcement was presented during a report on law enforcement activities and other aspects of the branch's operations. The identities of the alleged spies were not revealed and it was unclear whether the one Iran linked to Israel was an Israeli citizen.
Israeli authorities have not yet commented on media reports.
The media blames Iran for a missile attack on an Israeli-flagged ship in the Red Sea.
Israel and Iran have a long history of hostility. Several high-profile crimes in Iran have been blamed on Israeli intelligence services, including last year's assassination of famed nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
People arrested in Iran on suspicion of spying for Israel could face the death penalty, usually by hanging.
