Iran has arrested 500 people accused of sharing information with enemies, Reuters writes, citing the Islamic Republic’s police chief  ​Ahmadreza Radan.

Half of those cases had involved serious incidents “including people who provided information for hitting targets and individuals who took footage of strike locations and sent them,” ​Ahmadreza Radan said, without going into detail on when the arrests ​took place.

Earlier, Iranian media reported dozens of arrests in several regions ⁠on Sunday.
