TEHRAN- Security forces in northern Iran have detained 12 members of a Bahai spy network with connections to the Israeli regime, according
to a statement from the Iranian Intelligence Ministry.
"A sum of twelve members of the Israeli regime-backed group were identified and
connected to the Israeli regime and counterrevolutionary organizations, and that any of their operatives would be dealt with sternly and
decisively.The Iranian Intelligence Ministry also caught many members of a Bahai spy cell with connections to the Israeli regime last month,
which marked a significant counter-intelligence campaign.The detainees were also directly linked to the same group in Israel, the ministry
said in a statement.The Intelligence Ministry added the arrested persons received instructions from Bait Al-Adl on how to resurrect
Bahaism."The group was tasked with promoting Bahaism in educational centers at different levels, particularly in kindergartens across the
Israeli regime on several occasions and informed it on its efforts to stir up unrest against Hijab (Islamic dress code).Despite the fact
that Bahai sect members have acknowledged to a number of crimes, the West, particularly the United States, claims that Iran has infringed
their rights.However, Iran is trying to put an end to the cult's illegal acts.Recently, Iran has also detained a number of members of spy
networks connected to foreign secret agencies.The detention of a Swedish person on suspicion of spying was revealed by the Iranian
Intelligence Ministry on Saturday."The suspect has a history of travelling to the Israeli-occupied territories prior to visits to Iran," the
statement stressed.Iranian intelligence agents also detained two French spies in mid-May for attempting to incite civil unrest during
spies for the Western intelligence services.According to the Intelligence Ministry, the couple sought to create unrest and social disorder
in late May, when some teachers took to the streets in peaceful rallies demanding fair salaries and improved working conditions.In January,
another French national, Benjamin Briere, was sentenced to eight years in jail on spying charges after photographing prohibited locations
