Iran has arrested four people suspected of spying for Israel, state media reported on Thursday.
The development comes as US officials consider possible peace talks with Tehran following US-Israeli strikes on the city on 28 February, which escalated into a wider Middle East conflict.
“The four agents linked to the Mossad were apprehended in Gilan governorate” in northern Iran, IRNA reported, citing a statement from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
The Mossad is Israel’s foreign intelligence agency.
“The arrestees had provided Mossad intelligence officers with images and locations of some sensitive and critical military and security sites via the internet”, it said.
The suspects have been handed over to judicial authorities, the report added.
