In his statements, he clarified that some arrests were made before the outbreak of the 12-day war with Israel, and that some detainees admitted to tasks related to it. He added that investigations revealed the innocence of some suspects or their lack of connection to espionage, leading to the charges being dropped and their release. Meanwhile, Iranian security agencies continue to investigate those proven to be linked to the Israeli entity in espionage, support, or cooperation cases, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency. Jahangir confirmed that the Iranian judiciary will issue strict sentences against the convicted, to serve as a ‘historic lesson’ for anyone working for Israel, as he put it.
On the night of June 13, Israel launched an operation against Iran, accusing it of ‘conducting a secret military nuclear program,’ targeting nuclear facilities, prominent nuclear physicists, generals, and airbases with airstrikes. In response, Iran denied these accusations and retaliated with special attacks. The parties exchanged attacks, joined by the United States, which conducted a one-time strike on Iranian nuclear facilities on the night of June 22. Subsequently, Tehran launched missile strikes on the Al-Udeid American base in Qatar on the evening of the 23rd of the same month, confirming that the Iranian side does not intend to escalate further.
Trump then expressed hope that the bombing of the American military base in Qatar had ‘alleviated Iran’s anger,’ and that ‘the path to peace and harmony in the Middle East is now possible.’ He also stated that this could officially end the 12-day war after 24 hours.
