IRGC Disbands Armed Mercenary Groups Tied to US, Israel, and Britain Across Multiple Provinces

ALWAGHT- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has declared the dismantling of armed mercenary groups connected to the United States, Israel, and Britain in the provinces of East Azerbaijan, Kerman, and Mazandaran.

On Saturday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organization revealed that several armed mercenary groups were found to be engaged in networking, spying, disrupting markets, smuggling goods, and inciting riots in preparation for a potential war of aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran.

In separate operations, IRGC units dismantled enemy-linked networks in East Azerbaijan, Mazandaran, and Kerman provinces. In East Azerbaijan, seven elements affiliated with pro-monarchy terrorist groups were arrested for their involvement in armed and sabotage activities, as well as providing coordinates of sensitive locations to their leaders.

In Mazandaran, 69 individuals associated with the Zionist regime were detained for their anti-state activities, while some firearms and telecommunications equipment were confiscated from their hideouts. Furthermore, a coordinated operation in Kerman province resulted in the arrest of 51 people, including main enemy elements, spies, and media agents affiliated with an international terrorist network. These individuals were found to have direct connections with foreign leaders and aimed to create chaos and unrest in the province by disrupting the market, recruiting, and organizing mercenaries. Since the US and Israeli-backed unrest and potential war, Iran's intelligence apparatus has detained hundreds of people over their involvement with American, Israeli spy networks, and foreign-funded terrorist groups across the country.
