Evangelicals accused of links to Zionists arrested in Iran

Nine Evangelical Christians have been arrested in Iran in recent days, accused of “spreading deviant thoughts,” with the help of a “Zionist network,” according to reports in Iran’s Tasnim news agency.

The news outlet, linked to the hard-line IRGC, reports that the nine were arrested in Alborz province, near Iran, including five on December 26.

Earlier this month, Iranian news outlet Mehr reported that a group of so-called “Zionist Christians” were arrested and accused of trying to weaken Islam.
