Iranian news agency IRNA reported this evening that the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security of the Islamic Republic had arrested 12 members of the Bahá'í faith in Mazandaran Province, in northern Iran, on suspicion of spying for Israel.
According to the report, two of the heads of the organization were trained at the World House of Justice, located in the Bahá'í Center in Haifa, and set up a spy cell with other members of the organization throughout the northern district.
The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence said that "the members of the organization communicated in secret, relying on the basis of messages sent from Haifa and the Zionist regime. These messages were used by the organization's members in the country."
The Director of General Intelligence for Mazandaran Province stated that "any activity of espionage networks linked to the Zionist regime for anti-revolutionary activity is closely monitored by the intelligence, and their agents will be dealt with decisively."
