Iranian media refutes: "reversing black and white", Israel announces arrest of Iranian spy man | Iran | Iranian media
According to Reuters, Iran's state-owned media, Guangming News Agency, stated on June 30th that Israel's report of arresting an Iranian agent and thwarting an attack in Cyprus is an attempt to cover up its domestic crisis.
According to reports, Israel reported on June 29th that its intelligence agency Mossad carried out an arrest operation in Iran, with the arrested individuals being the main suspects in Iran's alleged plan to attack Israeli businessmen in Cyprus.
According to reports, Guangming News Agency, which has close ties to Iran's national security agency, stated that the Israeli government "faced a deteriorating domestic situation and described in a black-and-white manner a failed operation it carried out in Iran a year ago, when all of its agents were arrested in Iran.".
According to the Associated Press, on June 29th, Mossad announced that the Iranian man who was arrested by the agency's agents in Iran had made a detailed "confession" to the interrogators.
Mossad issued a statement saying, "We will arrest anyone who instigates terrorist acts against Jews, including on Iranian soil."
On June 29th, the Israeli side released a video of the man accused of being the head of an Iranian action team. The man said in the video that he received instructions from the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He also said that he carefully observed the target and took photos of his residence in Cyprus. After learning that the Cyprus police were searching for him, he fled back to Iran.
Mossad's statement said, "Due to the information he provided to the interrogators, the Cyprus security forces have uncovered this action team."
The Associated Press stated that neither Mossad's statement nor the man's identity can be confirmed through independent channels. The Cyprus authorities did not comment on the Associated Press, only stating that they do not discuss issues related to national security.
