March 23, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on Arrest of Iranian-Austrian dual national Abbas Danesh
Abbas Danesh, an Iranian-Austrian dual national, was arrested in Tehran on March 10, 2026, by intelligence agents of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Despite the passage of time, no information has been obtained regarding his place of detention.
A family member, in an interview with HRANA, confirmed the arrest and stated that Mr. Danesh was detained in the Fereshteh area of Tehran without the presentation of a warrant or judicial order.
The source added that Mr. Danesh had returned to Iran in late February to attend to personal administrative and financial matters.
According to individuals close to Mr. Danesh, the family’s efforts to obtain information from security institutions about his health condition and whereabouts have so far been unsuccessful. This lack of information has heightened concerns among his relatives, particularly those in Austria.
As of the time of writing, no information is available regarding the reasons for his arrest or any charges brought against him.
