While reports about Fadavi's arrest are going viral, it must be noted that there is no credible evidence to suggest the same. Reliable sources such as Press TV or CNN have also not reported on Ali Fadavi's arrest. More so, there has been no official confirmation from Tehran whether the IRGC's deputy commander was detained for spying for Israel. It is also worth noting that Fadavi has not made any public appearances or statements in a week or so amid the ongoing conflict with Israel.

As tensions continue to escalate between Israel and Iran, such claims do appear to be true, but official reports do not support the specific allegation about Fadavi's detention.
