Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangiri informed reporters in Tehran on Saturday that prices towards a number of the 20 suspects arrested had been dropped and so they had been launched. He didn’t give a quantity.
“The judiciary will show no leniency toward spies and agents of the Zionist regime, and with firm rulings, will make an example of them all,” Mr. Jahangiri was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
He stated full particulars can be made public as soon as investigations had been full.
