Six Asian nationals have been identified and arrested for filming, publishing and reposting videos related to the aftermath of the Iranian attack, the Interior Ministry said.

The ministry said the Anti-CyberCrime Directorate at the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security carried out the arrests after the individuals expressed sympathy with and glorified the hostile acts in a manner that harms security and public order.

The videos were circulated through their social media accounts, contributing to misleading public opinion and spreading fear among citizens and residents.

Legal procedures have been taken, and the suspects have been referred to the Public Prosecution.

The Interior Ministry also urged everyone to obtain information from official sources and refrain from circulating or reposting unverified videos or news to avoid legal accountability and to help safeguard the nation’s security and safety.
