<p>TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's police detained 21,000 suspects during the 12-day air war between Israel and Iran in June, state media reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>A report by state TV quoted a police spokesperson, Gen. Saeed Montazeralmahdi, as saying people reported the suspects to the authorities. "The arrest of 21,000 suspects during the 12-day war indicated high awareness and participation of people in providing security," he said.</p>
<p>Montazeralmahdi did not elaborate on what charges the suspects might face. However, he said more than 260 were suspected of spying and other 172 were arrested because of illegal filming.</p>
<p>He added that police put more than 1,000 checkpoints across the country during the conflict, between June 13-24.</p>
<p>This is the first time Iran's police has given a total number of arrests during the war. In recent weeks Iran occasionally reported about the arrests of suspects on spying charges.</p>
<p>Since the end of June, Iran has executed seven men convicted of spying for Israel, sparking fears from activists that the government could conduct a wave of executions.</p>
<p>Israel carried out waves of airstrikes on Iran, killing nearly 1,100 people, including many military commanders. Retaliatory Iranian strikes killed 28 people in Israel.</p>
