Iranian state media said on Tuesday that police had arrested 466 people for carrying out cyber activities aimed at undermining national security, in one of the largest security crackdowns since the start of the war with Israel and the United States.
Iranian media reported that more than 1,000 people were arrested during the month on charges related to photographing sensitive sites, posting anti-government content online, or “collaborating with the enemy . ”
Police said in a statement that the arrests were based on intelligence and technical surveillance over the past few days, and said that these individuals are linked to “enemy” networks seeking to destabilize the country internally.
