Iranian police have successfully identified and arrested 235 elements affiliated with the US and Israel in western Tehran, 93 of whom were subsequently imprisoned according to court rulings.

In a statement published on Monday, the police command of Western Tehran Province said that following the US and Israel’s goal to destabilize the country, these individuals attempted to organize anti-state elements to create riots, disseminate pro-US/Israel propaganda and send images and videos to the terrorist “Iran International” TV channel.

In another operation last Monday, Khuzestan Province Police identified and arrested 138 individuals for collaborating with US-Israeli subversive schemes against the Islamic Republic.

"Through technical intelligence operations and comprehensive police investigations," intelligence agents in the Khuzestan Police Intelligence Organization successfully identified and arrested the individuals, who were cooperating with hostile media, particularly the so-called Iran International and Manoto networks, over the past 72 hours,” the Khuzestan Police said.

Authorities emphasized the importance of public vigilance, noting that prompt reporting of suspicious activities to the police emergency center helps prevent any destructive activity and actions aimed at sowing insecurity.

The arrests come amid the Israeli regime's and the US's latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic that began in late February.

The country's intelligence bodies and law enforcement forces have detained numerous subversive elements amid the aggression, while the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces have confronted the aggressors with waves of decisive and successful retaliatory strikes.
