“An Israeli spy and several other spies with ties to the security services of various countries have been arrested,” the director general of intelligence in the province said on Monday, according to the Fars News Agency.
If found guilty, the agents could face the death penalty. An Iranian convicted of spying for the US and for Israeli intelligence was executed in 2020, Reuters reported.
