Iran Reports 6,500 Arrested as Spies and Traitors Since Conflict Began
🔒 TEHRAN — A purge at this scale mid-war signals something Tehran isn't saying publicly. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: 6,500 arrests in 79 days averages 82 per day — a systematic sweep, not counterintelligence. With Ghalibaf in Beijing and NSC reconvening Tuesday, Tehran is simultaneously pursuing diplomacy and eliminating internal dissent. Mass arrests before a potential US strike seal off the domestic variable: no coup, no collapse from within.
