Iran: 50+ arrests accused of drone espionage
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Iranian police arrested 53 individuals accused of using drones to film public and strategic sites in the southern province of Fars, according to Tasnim news agency. Yousef Malekzadeh, deputy police chief of the province, indicated the arrests were part of an effort to identify individuals suspected of collaborating with Israel or engaging in activities aimed at influencing public perception and conducting intelligence operations within the country. Authorities reported that those detained were in possession of small drones and related spare parts. Many of the seized devices—16 in total—were equipped with various operational features. The group is also accused of filming sensitive locations and transmitting footage to opposition media outlets based abroad. The arrests come as Iran intensifies its crackdown on hundreds of suspected collaborators with Israel, which launched Operation Rising Lion on Tehran on June 13. Since the operation began, Iran and Israel have traded near-daily drone and missile strikes despite international calls for restraint.

Reports: Israel kills Nasrallah's aide and Iraqi commander in Tehran
Shafaq News/ Hussein Khalil, a longtime aide to former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran along with a senior Iraqi commander, according to media reports on Saturday. Widely known as 'Abu Ali Khalil,' he had recently relocated from Iraq to Iran prior to the strike. Hezbollah has yet to confirm or deny the assassination. The same strike allegedly killed Haidar al-Moussawi, a senior commander in Iraq's Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, an Iran-backed faction. A source familiar with the group told Shafaq News that al-Moussawi was in charge of its operations in Syria. Israel has not officially acknowledged the operation. However, it coincides with the ninth straight day of Israeli airstrikes targeting high-value assets inside Iran. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has continued to launch waves of missiles and drones since June 13.
