Iran arrests 466 people accused of online activity undermining national security: IRNA

Iranian police arrested 466 people accused of online activities aimed at undermining national security, state media reported on Tuesday, in one of the biggest security sweeps ⁠since the start of the war with Israel and the United States.

Iranian media have reported more than 1,000 arrests over the course of the month, pertaining to ⁠individuals accused of filming sensitive locations, sharing anti-government content online, or "cooperating with the enemy."

A ⁠police statement said the arrests followed intelligence and technical monitoring in ⁠recent days, alleging the individuals were connected ⁠to “enemy” networks seeking to create internal instability.
