TEHRAN - Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday its intelligence forces had arrested 12 individuals linked to Israel across six provinces, alleging they sought to "perpetrate anti-security acts" against Iranians.

In a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC referred to the arrestees as "mercenary elements cooperating with Israel" in the form of a network, without specifying the time or locations of the arrests.
