Iran Arrests Technician for Spying on Drone, Missile Sites for Israel

The significance here lies less in the arrest than in the stated motive and the claim that leaks enabled targeted strikes: Tehran is framing espionage as an internal loyalty problem tied to expectations of regime change, not merely an external intelligence failure. That framing matters for anyone operating in or around Iranian industrial and military infrastructure, where social-media contact alone is treated as a capital offense with asset confiscation attached. Whether the strike claim is substantiated, and how the case is prosecuted, is the open question.
