HRANA – Domestic media have reported the arrest of at least 220 citizens across several provinces in Iran, including Tehran, Alborz, Hamedan, and West Azerbaijan.
According to Fars News Agency, 75 citizens were arrested in Alborz Province. The IRGC in Alborz stated that these individuals were “key elements linked to anti-regime groups.” The report claims that they had sent images of projectile impacts on locations and arrests of individuals to foreign media outlets. It also alleges that some of them were involved in insulting the Supreme Leader, online activities, and connecting to satellite internet.
Meanwhile, Tasnim News Agency released a video report showing the arrest of several citizens. In the footage, eight individuals are seen being detained in Tehran. The forced confessions of two of them were also broadcast, although it is unclear under what circumstances these statements were obtained. The report claims that these individuals were in contact with opposition groups and intended to carry out related activities.
Additionally, according to Tasnim, agents of the Ministry of Intelligence arrested at least 111 citizens in operations across 26 provinces. These individuals have been accused of supporting opposition groups and maintaining connections with foreign countries.
Furthermore, four citizens in Hamedan and West Azerbaijan provinces were arrested on charges of “espionage and sending the locations of headquarters, equipment, and troop deployments to the enemy.” Another 21 individuals, accused of “sending information and images to foreign media,” were also identified and detained.
According to Jamaran, one citizen was arrested by security forces in Valiasr Square. The reason for his arrest was reported to be the alleged throwing of an explosive object.
These reports did not disclose the identities of the detainees or their place of detention.
Since February 28, 2026, Iranian territory has been targeted by military attacks by Israel and the United States. For further details, you can refer to HRANA’s report published last night on the eighteenth day since the beginning of these attacks.
