Iranian police detained 21,000 individuals suspected of various offenses during a 12-day conflict with Israel, which began with Israeli air strikes on June 13. The crackdown included mass arrests and executions, with over 1,000 police checkpoints established. The police reported a significant increase in citizen participation in reporting suspicious activities. The conflict also led to a surge in Afghan deportations, with 36,100 Afghans returning to Afghanistan on June 26 alone. The number of arrests reported by police contrasts with earlier claims of 2,000 arrests by Iran's judiciary chief. Activists express concern over a potential increase in executions, as Iran executed seven men for espionage linked to Israel, with Amnesty International highlighting intensified repression in Iran post-conflict.
