Iran Arrests Tens of Thousands in Brutal Crackdown
(The Times-UK) Samer Al-Atrush - Iran has arrested tens of thousands of people after the regime ordered security forces to hunt down spies who helped Israel kill the country's top military leaders. An appeal to Iranians to turn over "suspicious" people to the police led to thousands of arrests, state media reported. The crackdown has particularly targeted ethnic and religious minorities. Iran has expelled thousands of Afghans, and those arrested have included journalists and human rights advocates.
