Iran arrests 50 in Sistan-Balochistan over alleged links to Israel and Terrorist Groups

arrested 50 people in Sistan-Baluchestan over alleged links to Israel and terrorist groups, seizing weapons and intensifying security operations.

Iranian authorities have arrested 50 people in the restive province of Sistan and Baluchestan, accusing them of links to Israeli intelligence and terrorist groups, according to a report by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) on Tuesday, July 1. Officials allege the group was plotting sabotage operations targeting economic and infrastructure assets in southern Iran.

The arrests, part of a broader national security operation, reportedly led to the deaths of two individuals during festivities with Iranian security forces. Authorities claim the group had amassed a large cache of weapons, including U.S.-made arms, raising concerns about foreign involvement in domestic unrest.

The identities and affiliations of the detainees have not been disclosed in detail, and it remains unclear how many are specifically charged with collaborating with Israel. However,

monitor, at least 26 people were executed in the first half of 2025 for political, religious, or protest-related activities, including alleged espionage for Israel. The report also noted that 29 prisoners died in jug under suspicious conditions during the same period.

The Iranian government says it is continuing operations to arrest additional suspects allegedly involved in the recent plot. Critics, however, argue that such crackdowns often target marginalized ethnic groups, particularly the Baloch and Kurdish minorities, under the pretext of combating terrorism.

The wave of arrests highlights Iran’s intensifying use of national security narratives to control dissent, especially in provinces marked by economic deprivation and ethnic tensions. International watchdogs, including Amnesty International and the UN Human Rights Council, have consistently urged Tehran to ensure fair trials and transparency in cases involving alleged espionage or terrorism.

As Iran’s geopolitical tensions with Israel and Western nations continue to rise, analysts warn that internal repression could deepen. The international community is being called upon to closely monitor Iran’s treatment of detainees and press for accountability in its justice system.
