DUBAI (Reuters) -Iranian police arrested as many as 21,000 "suspects" during the country's 12-day war with Israel in June, a law enforcement spokesperson said on Tuesday, according to state media.

In the early days of the war, Gonjeshke Darande, a hacking group widely regarded as aligned with Israel, also burned $90mn from the Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex by depositing it in digital wallets without private access keys, accusing the exchange of being a “tool” of the regime.
