The reports did not specify whether the alleged spy was an Israeli citizen, Iranian citizen, or a resident of another country.

"An Israeli spy was arrested in the eastern province of Azerbaijan, along with other spies who were in contact with intelligence agencies from other countries," local intelligence sources in Iran were quoted as saying.

According to a press briefing given by the district governor, the detainees are suspected of fraud, forgery of documents, and forgery of checks. He said more than 50,000 checks worth 18 billion Iranian rials had been discovered.
