Reports in Iran: Thwarting of an espionage network in Urmia
According to reports from several Iranian media outlets affiliated with the regime, Iran's security forces, referred to in the publications as the "unknown soldiers of Imam Mahdi" on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, arrested two suspects in the city of Urmia for collaborating with Israel.
In reports circulated by Akharin Khabar and the IRNA News Agency, it is alleged that the detainees transferred coordinates and locations of public and security buildings to Israel, including "schools, mosques, and Basij militia bases." It was further claimed that the two used the Telegram app to transmit the information and document damage caused to sites after they suffered attacks.
The KhabarFouriNews channel, which deals with security news, added that the detainees are specifically accused of "sending coordinates and photos of sites that were attacked." While these sources are clearly identified with the Iranian regime's position, they present the event as a significant intelligence achievement in the campaign against Israeli infiltration.
As of the publication date of the reports on May 31, 2026, the information comes from official media sources and those close to the regime in Iran, without verification from independent or Israeli sources. The channels that reported the incident, including Havades Fouri and Ansar-Allah Leadership, emphasize the narrative that these are "traitors" who acted against the interests of the country.
