Iranian police have arrested no fewer than 466 people accused of online activities that allegedly undermine national security.
The state media reported that the arrests were made on Tuesday, in one of the biggest security sweeps since the start of the war with Israel and the United States.
It will be recalled that Iranian media had reported more than 1,000 arrests over the course of the month, pertaining to individuals accused of filming sensitive locations, sharing anti-government content online, or cooperating with the enemy.
According to a police statement, the arrests followed intelligence and technical monitoring in recent days.
The police also alleged that the individuals were connected to enemy networks seeking to create internal instability.
