2 US Jews said detained in Iran on suspicion of spying for Israel amid war; 1 still in prison
2025-07-29
[IsraelTimes] Two American nationals are among at least 35 Jews who were detained in Iran on suspicion of spying for Israel following the 12-day war last month, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

One of the American citizens was released on bail in the past few days, and the other is still in prison, according to the report.

The American who was released on bail is a Jew of Iranian ancestry from Los Angeles, and the other American left Iran for New York 30 years ago, Kan says.

Both were reportedly in Iran to visit relatives.
I’m sorry, but given the Mad Mullahs’ addiction to kidnapping foreigners for fun and profit, and their continuing war against the Great Satan, for these people to go there was profoundly stupid.
An unidentified source involved in efforts to free the two American Jews is quoted as saying that “the two Americans arrived in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

According to Kan, Iranian authorities in recent days released 11 members of the Jewish community accused of spying for Israel.

The number of Jews still detained for alleged spying in Iran is now five, Kan says.
