"Israel is using your cell phones to detect your location," Iran raises the alarm, advises citizens to avoid using WhatsApp and Telegram

The Iranian regime has warned people to stop using WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps that can reveal their location, saying it is one of Israel's "main methods to identify and target individuals," Iran's state news agency IRIB reported, citing a security report.

"Following recent targeted killings" by Israel, "including the assassination of scientists, reports indicate that the Israeli regime uses cell phone tracking to locate people in Iran," IRIB said.

The report said that using these apps is "dangerous in these circumstances."

Iran also advised people to turn off their mobile phones before changing locations. “People should refrain from taking their mobile phones to sensitive places,” IRIB added.

The security report also advised the public, "especially employees of sensitive organizations, to use secure telecommunications lines and avoid using insecure software," according to IRIB.
