April 6, 2026 - IRAN. At Least 283 People Arrested in Connection With the War

Domestic media outlets have reported that 235 citizens in Tehran, 42 in Khuzestan, four in Maragheh, and two in Lorestan have been arrested. Activity on social media and sending images and videos to foreign media outlets were cited as the reasons for these arrests.

According to Student News Network, 235 citizens were arrested in Tehran, 93 of whom were transferred to prison. In this regard, the West Tehran Province Law Enforcement Command stated that these citizens had, through activity on social media, “created psychological insecurity in society, engaged in propaganda in favor of countries involved in the war, including the United States and Israel, incited and organized anti-government groups,” and had also “sent images and videos to Iran International.”

Meanwhile, ISNA reported the arrest of 42 citizens in Khuzestan. The report claims that these citizens had “made phone calls, taken photographs and videos of sensitive military and law enforcement centers, and sent them to foreign media outlets.”

Fars News Agency also reported that four citizens were arrested in Maragheh. The public prosecutor of Maragheh claimed that these individuals were arrested for “espionage through photographing and filming sites damaged in the U.S. and Israeli military attack on Iran and sending them to Iran International.”

According to Fars, the Lorestan Law Enforcement Force also announced the arrest of two citizens, stating that they were detained for “photographing locations struck by air attacks and certain military bases and sending them to foreign media, including Iran International.”

It should be noted that the U.S. and Israeli military attacks on Iran began on 28 February 2026. Since the beginning of these attacks, HRANA has been documenting and recording war-related events across different parts of the country on a daily basis.
