Iran arrests British-Iranian dual national as crackdown continues

• An Iranian prosecutor indicated through state media that an Iranian-British dual national had been arrested for links to British intelligence services.
• The official indicated that the arrest was a part of an ongoing crackdown against Western “infiltration,” which has ramped up in the wake of the Iran nuclear deal.
• The arrest is at least the seventh of such dual nationals—whose non-Iranian citizenship the Iranian government does not recognize—arrested in the last year.
