Iran has arrested ‘dozens of spies’

Tehran : Iran’s intelligence minister said yesterday that “dozens of spies” had been arrested as part of a crackdown on espionage and dual nationals. “They act by spying and infiltration. Fortunately the anti-espionage section is one of the strongest sections of this ministry,” Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi said in an interview on state television.

He did not provide details on the “dozens of spies”, or over what period they were arrested. He said there was also a concerted effort to root out dual nationals working in official positions.
