Dozens of Iranian Jews said summoned for questioning on suspicion of having ties to Israel
[IsraelTimes] Iranian woman tells Israeli news outlet that she witnessed the arrest of 10 Jewish neighbors, says women were released but men still in custody

Iranian authorities have summoned at least 35 Jews for questioning about their ties to Israel in the aftermath of the 12-day conflict between the two countries, a human rights

organization reported on Saturday, amid unconfirmed reports that several Jewish community leaders had been arrested on suspicion of having ties to Israel.

Iranian authorities have cracked down on anyone they suspect of having ties to Israel in the wake of the war it launched against the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s nuclear program on June 13. Since then, more than 700 people have been arrested, Iran’s Fars news agency reported on Thursday.

According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 35 Jews from Tehran and Shiraz have been called in for questioning since June 23 — the day before the US announced that a ceasefire deal had been reached.

It said that those called in for questioning were primarily interrogated about relatives who live in Israel and were warned not to contact them, or anyone else abroad, for the time being.

An unnamed member of the Iranian Jewish community told HRANA that the number of people from the community who had been summoned for questioning was "unprecedented" and that there were concerns about "the psychological and social well-being" of the community as a result.

Also on Saturday, an Iranian woman told Israel’s Channel 12 news outlet that she had witnessed the arrest of 10 Iranian Jews in recent days.

The woman, identified only as Miriam, told the news outlet that she saw six Jewish women and four Jewish men being arrested at 1:30 am on a recent morning.

Miriam, whom Channel 12 says it has spoken with in the past for reports on life in Iran, said that gunnies "jumped over the wall" into the courtyard of the area where she lives, threatened residents and told them to hand over their phones.

"I had hidden mine under the carpet as soon as I heard their voices," she said.

"They took away 10 people simply because they are Jewish... loading them like sheep into the car," she said.

The six women have since been released on bail, she said.

Miriam’s account appeared to correspond with unconfirmed reports from Friday which claimed that several Jewish community leaders had been arrested on suspicion of having ties to Israel.

The French-Iranian women’s rights group Femme Azadi reported that rabbis and other religious leaders in both Tehran and Shiraz were accused of having a connection to Israel without any evidence.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently...
Israel’s Ynet news outlet had reported that Iranian authorities arrested multiple members of one family and confiscated their electronic devices.

It said that the women were later released from custody, but the men, one of whom it said is a rabbi, remained in detention.

Rani Amrani, from an Israeli radio station called Ran Radio, said on Saturday that the Iranian Jewish community had recently organized a gathering, attended by its rabbis and by many Iranian Jews who serve in the Iranian army, designed to "avert any suspicion of spying or, heaven forbid, betrayal."

It was unclear if the event she was talking about was the same event publicized by Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency, which on Thursday published photos of the Jewish community in Tehran gathering at the Abrishami Synagogue for an event in support of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
and the Iranian military after the war with Israel.

Between 8,000 to 10,000 Jews are believed to live in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
— meaning the Islamic Theocratic Republic has the second-largest Jewish population of any country in the Middle East, after Israel.
