Iranian authorities have arrested four foreigners of undisclosed nationalities for “participation in riots”, state television said Monday.
“These individuals were apprehended during a raid on their hideout” in Tehran province, national television said, without specifying the date of the arrests.
“During a search of one suspect’s bag, four homemade stun grenades, used during the riots and unrest in the area, were discovered,” it added.
Iranian authorities accuse Israel and the United States of having had a hand in “riots”.
NGOs based abroad have accused the security forces of intentionally targeting protesters in a movement that rocked the Islamic republic in January.
On January 24, the official IRNA news agency reported that two foreigners had been arrested in western Iran.
