Alwaght- Iran said on Saturday its Ministry of Intelligence arrested “a network of agents” from Israeli regime who were preparing “sabotage and terrorist operations.”
The spies “were in contact with agents of the Mossad spy-terrorist organization,” Iran’s media reported. The agents had reportedly entered the country from the Kurdistan region, and were found in possession of communications equipment and explosives.
The Israelis were collaborating with the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran, a West-backed terrorist group based in Albania.
The Israeli prime minister's office, which oversees Mossad, declined to comment when contacted by the Jerusalem Post.
Iran announced in June that it had captured three Mossad agents “tasked with the assassination of nuclear scientists,” while Israel said in January that it had busted a predominantly female Iranian spy ring that collected damaging information on Israeli politicians, as well as photographing military bases and Mossad’s headquarters.
