*The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) intelligence forces have
arrested individuals spying in favor of the Israeli regime’s Mossad spy
agency, and smashed several terror cells during separate counterterrorism
operations across the country.*

The IRGC intelligence division in the northwestern province of Qazvin
announced in a statement on Monday that its forces had carried out a
targeted operation in the province, successfully identifying and capturing
two operatives affiliated with Mossad.

A team involved in the illicit trade of munitions was also dismantled. The
arrestees had in their possession assault rifles and bullets, which were
confiscated.

IRGC intelligence forces also busted an eight-strong terror team in the
southeastern province of Kerman.

The arrested elements had reportedly fired gunshots at vehicles belonging
to Basij volunteer forces, carried out attacks on law enforcement
servicemen, launched an arson attack on Sirjan governor's office, spied in
favor of Mossad, and were in contact with separatist groups.

Additionally, 22 individuals with links to anti-Revolution and monarchist
groups were arrested by IRGC intelligence forces in the southwestern
province of Charmahal and Bakhtiari.

The detainees were planning to acquire weapons to undermine security and
carry out acts of sabotage.

They were, however, arrested before they could launch any terror attacks.
