“An Israeli spy was arrested in the eastern Azerbaijan province of Iran … also other spies who were in contact with the intelligence services of several countries were also arrested,” an intelligence ministry official told the newspaper.
Israeli officials did not immediately comment on the report.
The Islamic Republic does not recognize Israel and accuses it of being behind acts of sabotage and assassinations of nuclear scientists.
Iran blamed Israel for the death of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh last year, who was seen by Western intelligence services as the mastermind of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program.
Tehran denied trying to build a nuclear arsenal. Israel did not confirm or deny responsibility for the murder.
