Iran's judiciary has announced the arrest of more than 3,000 people accused of helping Israel or acting against the state. Officials said 3,292 people were detained, including hundreds accused of carrying out operations for Israel. Others were charged with spreading anti-government propaganda. Authorities said more than 1,000 indictments have already been issued, and assets belonging to some suspects have been seized. The arrests are part of a wider crackdown that followed anti-government protests and the recent conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Human rights groups have criticised the detentions and called for due process. (PC: Reuters)
