Alwaght- Intelligence forces have dealt a big blow to a terrorist network affiliated with the Israeli regime in four provinces, a statement released by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry said.
The network was planning for sabotage that would include blasts in some Iranian sites.
14 people were arrested and 43 “powerful” bombs were discovered from them, the statement read.
Two “fully armed and well-equipped” terrorists were arrested in Khuzestan Province earlier in the month, who were in possession of 382 types of homemade bombs, bomb-making tools and chemical materials as well as 65 incendiary bombs, according to the Ministry’s statement.
In the western province of Kermanshah, two other terrorists carried out various false-flag operations and sent videos to the leaders of the terrorist cells based in Denmark and the Netherlands.
The terrorists arrested by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry were reportedly attempting to stage attacks, implicating the country’s police and law enforcement force.
The statement underlined that the terrorists used Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter as their main social media platforms, while they enjoyed media links with TV channels such as Iran International and BBC Persian.
The Ministry said the terrorist groups’ bases were located in various countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark, adding that Daesh operatives were also based in Afghanistan while certain gangs were operating from Pakistan, Press TV reported.
Earlier this month, two people were killed and eight others injured in an armed terrorist attack on the Shah Cheragh shrine in Iran’s southern city of Shiraz, for which ISIS later claimed responsibility. The attack came months after a similar terrorist attack in the same religious site.
