TEHRAN, Nov 11, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Iran said Tuesday it had broken up a spy network linked to both Israeli and US spy agencies, months after the war between the Islamic republic and its archenemy Israel.

"An anti-security network led by the US and Israeli intelligence services was identified inside the country and dismantled after several stages of observation, surveillance, and other intelligence measures," the intelligence organisation of the Revolutionary Guards said.

"The operation was carried out in a coordinated manner in a number of provinces," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the ideological arm of Iran's military, said in a statement carried by state television.

It did not provide any details on the time or the location of the crackdown nor the number of any arrests.

In June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran, killing more than a thousand people, according to Iranian official figures, including senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.

Tehran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israel.

The United States briefly joined the war, with a night of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in place since June 24.

Last month, Iranian authorities approved a bill toughening penalties for those convicted of spying on behalf of Israel and the United States.

Iran has since hanged several people accused of espionage for Israel.
