On June 13, Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran and several other cities across Iran. The attacks targeted nuclear facilities and killed several high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and Iranian civilians.
The Israeli attacks continued in various regions of Iran on Saturday.
In retaliation, Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, causing casualties and damage.
According to a report by Tasnim, a semi-official Iranian news agency, on June 15, Iranian intelligence forces nabbed two “members” of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, in Alborz Province, northern Iran.
They were arrested from a house in Iran’s Savojbolagh region, where they were allegedly assembling bombs, explosives, traps, and electronic devices, the Tasnim report said, without mentioning the date of arrest.
Earlier on June 13, Sugiono condemned Israeli strikes against Iran, saying they amount to a violation of the law and undermine the foundation of international law.
