TEHRAN: Iranian authorities have arrested two foreign nationals in the country’s northwest on charges related to the importation of Starlink devices, a local prosecutor said Sunday, according to Iranian media.
The suspects, arrested in the city of Jolfa in East Azerbaijan province, were involved in “importing satellite internet equipment” and were arrested by security forces, Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted the city’s public prosecutor as saying.
It said the two were part of “a network accused of intelligence cooperation with groups linked to the United States and Israel”.
Two Iranian nationals were also arrested in connection with the case, including one who “attempted to send information to hostile satellite networks” and another allegedly involved in intelligence activities, it added.
