Iran has increased its intervention against suspicion of Israeli spies in a series of unprecedented Israeli strikes and revelations of hidden Mossad operations in the Islamic Republic. The growing paranoia of the Iranian government has led to dozens of arrests, public warnings and a call for citizens to report suspicious behavior – including people who wear “masks, hats and sunglasses, even at night”.
Dozens of Iranians arrested for spy fees
Since the Israeli air strikes began last Friday, the Iranian authorities have held 28 individuals in Tehran accused of espionage for Israel, CNN said.
On Monday, a man arrested two years ago for a similar accusation was listed, who sent a significant warning to potential collaborators. This wave of arrests is extended to a nationwide level, with at least 60 people being detained in Isfahan, in a city where Israel allegedly aimed at a nuclear facility.
The Iranian regime also intervened on those who share the content of online considered to be sympathetic with Israel and accused them of undermining the “psychic security of society”.
These sweeping measures reflected the increased anxiety of Tehran on internal safety after smuggling the hidden weapon of Israel and sabotage operations.
“Masks, Hats and Sunglasses, even at night”
The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence has issued detailed instructions that urged citizens to be vigilant and report suspicious behavior. The Ministry’s statement warns against foreigners “wearing masks or glasses, managing pickups and carrying large bags or filming around military, industrial or residential areas”.
The state media has intensified these warnings.
Nour News, closely associated with the Iranian security apparatus, has published a poster that recommends the public to be suspected of individuals wearing “masks, hats and sunglasses, even at night” and those who receive “frequent Courier packages”.
The poster also supports the report of “unusual sounds from the house, such as shouting, the sound of metal equipment, continuous banging” and “houses with curtains drawn even during the day”, CNN reported.
Another poster of the Iranian government, attributed to the police, is instructed by landlords who recently rented real estate to inform the authorities immediately, and further tightening of supervision, adds the CNN report.
Increased supervision of Iran in the middle of domestic riots
Iranian intervention coincides with increased restrictions on journalists who report that it is forbidden to photograph in public areas, CNN says.
Basij, the paramilitary wing of the Iranian revolutionary guards known for the suppression of anti -government protests, was deployed on night patrols so that after the support of “supervisory” efforts to detect infiltration of Mossad.
Iranian leadership, already isolated and shaken by widespread protests induced by the death of a young woman in police binding of morality, now faces a growing pressure to control internal disagreement and at the same time face perceived external threats.
“The Ministry of Intelligence urgently requires the alertness against foreigners who wear masks or glasses and suspicious activities near sensitive places,” Iranian state media said.
Iran on Edge: Mossad Operations in Tehran – what we know
Mossad, Israeli premiere news agency, is known for its hidden operations and spy activities around the world. Founded in 1949, Mossad specializes in the foreign collection of intelligence information, anti -terrorism and secret missions vital to Israel’s national security.
His remarkable operations include the capture of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann and focusing on threats such as Palestinian militants and Iranian nuclear program. Mossad, who worked with high secrets, reports directly to the Israeli Prime Minister.
In recent years, Mossad has performed sophisticated hidden operations inside Iran aimed at undermining her military and nuclear abilities. During the June 2025 campaign, known as Operation Rising Lion, Mossad agents infiltrated central Iran, smuggled the accuracy of the weapons, and, according to reports, set up a drone base near Tehran.
This allowed the Israeli Air Force to launch coordinated air strikes that deactivated Iranian air defense and targeted nuclear and military sites, killing key generals and scientists.
Mossad’s rare edition of the shots showing drone strikes on launchers near Tehran emphasizes his ability to penetrate deep into Iranian territory and perform accurate attacks. Over the years, Mossad has also been associated with the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and theft of Iranian secret nuclear archive in 2018, which revealed the atomic ambitions of Tehran.
