Weakened by war with Israel, the Iranian regime ramps up repression
Recently, Iranian media have reported that there were more than 700 arrests nationwide during the 12 days of war, particularly in the provinces of Kermanshah, Isfahan, Khuzestan, Fars and Lorestan. The actual number is likely higher – the CHRI mentioned several hundred additional arrests in Tehran. Pressure was also especially high in Kurdish cities, particularly smaller ones, where arrests have continued. The charge is always the same: "collaboration with the Zionist regime" – the official term for Israel.

Police examine suspicious package at Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen
Police in Denmark's capital Copenhagen are examining a suspicious package that was sent to the Israeli Embassy, authorities said on Thursday. Danish public broadcaster DR showed photos of several police and emergency vehicles near the embassy building, including what they reported was a hazmat emergency response team vehicle. Several police officers, heavily armed soldiers and men in dark green hazmat suits and gas masks were shown standing behind a cordoned-off area near a white building in the Hellerup neighbourhood in the north of the city. Copenhagen police wrote on X that "we are present at the Israeli Embassy, where we are investigating a shipment received." They added that "we currently have no further information." Police also said that they blocked off roads near the embassy. Anders Frederiksen, duty chief at the Copenhagen Police, told Danish daily Ekstra Bladet that "ordinary citizens in the area should not be worried." He added that the investigation was taking place inside the embassy building after employees there alerted police. Frederiksen declined to comment on the contents of the suspicious shipment. A spokesperson reached by phone at the press department of the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen said that he couldn't comment on the situation. Increased security following alleged spy arrest Security officials in many European countries have increased surveillance and protection of Israeli and Jewish institutions after a 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran in June and as concern mounts over how Israel is conducting its military operation in Gaza. Last week, security officials arrested a man in the Danish city of Aarhus on suspicion of gathering information on Jewish locations and individuals in Germany for Iranian intelligence. German federal prosecutors said the man was tasked by an Iranian intelligence service early this year with gathering information on "Jewish localities and specific Jewish individuals" in Berlin. They didn't elaborate. He spied on three properties in June, "presumably in preparation of further intelligence activities in Germany, possibly including terrorist attacks on Jewish targets," prosecutors said. German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig said that "if this suspicion is confirmed, we are dealing with an outrageous operation," adding in a statement that "the protection of Jewish life has the highest priority for the German government." Germany has requested the extradition of the suspect.

France demands immediate release of couple held in Iran, warns of sanctions
France said on Thursday it would decide whether to reimpose sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme depending on whether Tehran released two French detainees charged with spying for Israel. "Freeing Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris is an absolute priority for us," Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said. "We have always told our interlocutors from the Iranian regime that any decisions on sanctions will be conditional on resolving this issue." Iran officially suspended its co-operation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Wednesday. The move came after a 12-day conflict last month between Iran and Israel, which saw unprecedented Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and sharply escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The United States and other Western countries, along with Israel, accuse Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies that, but has gradually broken away from its commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal it struck with world powers, after the United States pulled out of it in 2018. Israel has maintained ambiguity about its own atomic arsenal, neither officially confirming nor denying it exists, but the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates its arsenal amounts to 90 nuclear warheads. The landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal provided Tehran with sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its atomic programme to be monitored by the UN nuclear watchdog. The deal included the possibility of UN sanctions being reimposed through a mechanism called "snapback" if Iran failed to fulfil its commitments, an option that expires in October. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has urged European signatories of the 2015 deal to trigger the "snapback" mechanism and reinstate all UN sanctions on Iran. Kohler, 40, and Paris, her 72-year-old partner, have been held in Iran since May 2022 on espionage charges their families reject. But Iran has now charged the pair with spying for Israel's intelligence agency Mossad, diplomatic and family sources told AFP on Wednesday. They were also accused of "corruption of Earth" and "plotting to overthrow the regime", the sources said. All three charges carry the death penalty. Tehran has not confirmed the new charges. A French diplomatic source described the allegations as "completely unfounded". Iran is believed to hold around 20 European nationals, many of whose cases have never been publicised, in what some Western governments including France describe as a strategy of hostage-taking aimed at extracting concessions from the West. Three other Europeans, who have not been identified, have also been arrested in the wake of the current conflict, two of whom are accused of spying for Israel, according to the authorities.

Iran charges two imprisoned French nationals with spying for Israel
French nationals Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who have been detained by Iran for more than three years, have been charged with "spying for Israel", according to their relatives and diplomatic sources. On Wednesday, Noémie Kohler, Cécile's sister, announced that an Iranian judge had handed the couple three charges which included "spying for the Mossad", "conspiracy to overthrow the regime" and "corruption on land." The couple's families maintain that Kohler and Paris were on a tourist trip when they were arrested in May 2022. More than three years on, the couple remain unable to access independent legal advice. As it stands, Tehran has not confirmed the charges, which are punishable by the death penalty in the country. Meanwhile, a French diplomatic source told Radio France that "if confirmed", the charges were "totally unfounded." Although the pair — a 40-year-old literature teacher and her retired 72-year-old partner, who was formerly a maths teacher — have been accused of espionage since their arrest in May 2022, Iranian authorities had previously not specified which country the couple was allegedly spying for. For months the couple have been living in a heightened state of "psychological torture", according to Noémie Kohler, who stated that since December, Iranian authorities have been warning Cécile and Jacques of an "extremely severe and imminent" verdict coming their way. The past week has proved particularly challenging for Cécile and Jacques' relatives, in the aftermath of an Israeli strike on the Evin prison — which was where the couple was detained — killing 71 people according to Iranian authorities. Following the strike, Iranian authorities announced that a number of prisoners would be transferred to other penitentiary sites. However, Cécile and Jacques' families did not know if the pair were among those transferred. However, on Tuesday — eight days after the Israeli strike — France's Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot announced that a diplomat had been able to visit Cécile and Jacques, in a bid to obtain proof that they were alive. Despite this, the French foreign ministry did not specify where the visit took place, leaving the couple's whereabouts unclear. On 16 May, the French government lodged an application against Iran with the International Court of Justice, qualifying Cécile and Jacques as "state hostages" and accusing Iran of violating the right to consular protection enshrined in the Vienna Convention. The French government has repeatedly called for the release of Cécile and Jacques. Days before Israel's strike on the Evin prison, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he had called for the couple's release during an exchange with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian. In the post shared on 21 June, Macron wrote, "Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris must be released. Their inhumane detention is unjust. I expect them to return to France." According to estimates from NGO Hostage Aid Worldwide, around 15 Europeans and dual nationals from Sweden, France, Switzerland, Cyprus, Germany and the UK are imprisoned in Iran. Human rights groups accuse Tehran of practising a policy of hostage diplomacy, using Europeans and dual nationals as "bargaining chips" to facilitate its negotiations with the West.
