Iranian authorities on Sunday detained four people, including two foreign nationals, in the country's northwest for importing satellite internet devices and alleged "intelligence cooperation" with US-Israeli-linked networks.
In a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the public prosecutor of Jolfa County in northwestern Iran claimed that the foreign nationals imported satellite internet equipment, including Starlink, which is considered a criminal offence in the country.
The arrests come amid a weeks-long and widespread internet blackout in Iran.
Hundreds of Iranians have been detained on accusations of cooperating "with the enemy" since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has killed more than 3,300 people since Feb. 28.
