TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian authorities have arrested four foreigners of undisclosed nationalities for “participation in riots,” state television said Monday.

“These individuals were apprehended during a raid on their hideout” in Tehran province, national television said, without specifying the date of the arrests.

“During a search of one suspect’s bag, four homemade stun grenades, used during the riots and unrest in the area, were discovered,” it added.

Thousands of Iranians are believed to have been killed in a crackdown on anti-government protests last month. Iran’s authorities blame foreign countries for fomenting the violence, the worst domestic unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The authorities have been announcing daily arrests of suspected protest........
