Iran has arrested 20 people suspected of involvement in the assassinations of its nuclear scientists, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported, citing Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi.
Moslehi said ministry agents made the arrests after busting two groups linked to Israel. He said the ministry wasn’t releasing information such as the location of the arrests for “technical reasons.”
