Iran arrests dozens, including foreign national tied to US and Israel

Iranhas arrested dozens including a foreign national for allegedly spyingfor the country's "enemies", the Intelligence Ministry said on Tuesday, amid a continued war with the U.S. and Israel.



The U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on February 28, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several commanders.

During the ongoing conflict, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against Gulf countries that are U.S. allies and host American military bases.



Without identifying the arrested person's nationality, Iran's Intelligence Ministry said the foreign national "was conducting espionage on behalf of the United States and Israel, and acting as a proxy for two Gulf countries," according to state media.
