Iran’s IRGC says it arrested 12 people for alleged collaboration with Israel
[IsraelTimes] Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says alleged spies were connected to ‘series of actions planned against our country’s security’; Tehran frequently claims to foil Mossad plots
Pray for the comfort of their souls. Innocent or guilty, there’s no hope for their bodies.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed Sunday that 12 people had been arrested on suspicion of serving as operatives collaborating with Israel and planning acts against Iran’s security.

"As the Zionist regime and their Western backers, most notably the United States, have not succeeded in their sinister goals against the people of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, they are now seeking to spread the crisis to Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
with a series of actions planned against our country’s security," the statement said.

Israel has been at war with the Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
terror group in Gaza and engaged in daily fighting with the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon — both Iranian proxies — since Hamas committed its onslaught in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

The Revolutionary Guards added on Sunday that members of the network of 12 operatives were arrested in six different Iranian provinces, but did not say when.

Tehran frequently claims to foil Mossad operations in the country, but the veracity of such claims is unclear.

The arrests Sunday came in the immediate wake of a series of devastating security breaches suffered by Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, including the violent mostly peaceful explosion of thousands of pagers, walkie-talkies, and other electronics. Among those hurt in the attacks, widely blamed on Israel, was Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani, who is reported to have lost an eye.
"It's around here somewhere"
In August, Iran reportedly arrested at least two dozen people whom it suspected of involvement in the liquidation of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh

President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, who was killed while visiting Tehran in late July, in a blast widely blamed on Israel.

Shortly after the liquidation, The Telegraph reported that the Mossad had enlisted agents from within the Revolutionary Guards to plant explosives in the Tehran guesthouse where Haniyeh was staying.

The Hamas chief was visiting Tehran at the time to attend the inauguration of the country’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, who was elected after the president, Ebrahim Raisi, was killed in a helicopter crash in May, along with the country’s foreign minister and five others.

The Iranian investigation into Raisi’s death concluded that the crash was caused by bad weather, although an Iranian member of parliament reportedly said that the late president had carried a Hezbollah pager of the type targeted last week.

#1 Any Iranian or Hezbollah leadership element who wasn't harmed by the pagers is a suspect.

If they want to be safe they have to neutralize all of them.
