The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) detained 16 people in Iran's Lurestan province on suspicion of supporting Israel, Tasnim reports.
According to their information, the arrested citizens were spreading panic on the internet with their actions and trying to weaken the solidarity of Iranian society.
As the publication notes, any internet activity aimed at achieving Israel's goals, as well as spreading false news and rumors, will be suppressed by the country's law enforcement agencies.
Earlier, Iran's Ministry of Communications confirmed that a decision was made to impose temporary restrictions on users' access to the internet to prevent attacks from Israel.
