has arrested a man for allegedly working with the Israeli Mossad to undermine security in the southern Kerman province, state media reported on Tuesday, citing a judiciary official.

The defendant had planned to carry out "subversive measures" in Kerman before he was arrested by the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ebrahim Hamidi, Kerman’s prosecutor general, was cited by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying.

Hamidi did not specify the nationality of the person arrested.

Iran does not recognize Israel and has in the past accused it of attacking nuclear facilities and carrying out liquidations inside Iran.

The announcement comes amid ongoing anti-government protests that erupted across Iran mid-September after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, died in police custody.

Iran has arrested several foreign nationals since the protests began. As during past protests, Tehran has blamed the demonstrations on foreign "enemies," namely the US and Israel.
Rudaw adds:
Hamidi claimed that the Mossad "spy" was trying to leave the country but was arrested before doing so.

"The accused had communited with the military and intelligence organizations and organs of the usurping Zionist regime by using the platform of cyberspace and also through numerous encrypted software," Hamidi added.

has accused foreign nations, mainly Israel, the United States, and European countries of being behind the recent wave of massive countrywide protests in the country that have triggered a violent mostly peaceful crackdown by security forces.

The protests stemmed from the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa (Zhina) Amini in jug of the country’s so-called morality police in Tehran.

(Rojhelat), with Gay Paree-based Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) saying that at least 30 were killed in the Kurdish areas in four weeks of protests while 825 people were maimed.

Oslo-based Iran Human Rights Organization puts the countrywide corpse count higher, saying at least 185 have bit the dust at the hands of Iranian regime forces.

In August, Iran detained multiple foreign diplomats over charges of espionage, including a Polish national who the Islamic republic accused of having ties to Israel.
