Iran claimed on Tuesday that Israel's arrest of an alleged Iranian spy was a "repetitive scenario" aimed at ending what it called the Jewish state's "isolation" within the international community.

"This is a repetitive scenario by the Zionist regime. Even Western media said the timing of the arrest and [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu's leaving (for the U.S.) was a plan to end its isolation," foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted by AFP as having said in her weekly press briefing.

"Such desperate scenarios stem from anger, and we cannot assess them," Afkham said, adding that Israel was also isolated for its aggressive policies regarding Iran's nuclear drive.

The suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ali Mansouri, was arrested on September 11, but the arrest was under a gag order that was only lifted on Sunday.

Mansouri was arrested with a Belgian passport and, according to the Shin Bet internal security service, was sent to Israel by Iran's Revolutionary Guards. He was arrested at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion international airport.

The Shin Bet said Mansouri had enrolled in a "special operations unit of the Revolutionary Guards responsible for numerous terrorist attacks around the world.”
