<h2>Iranian police foil ammunition smuggling attempt in Pol-e Dokhtar, arrest three</h2>

military ammunition, confiscating over 22,000 rounds of Kalashnikov
bullets and arresting three suspects in the city of Pol-e Dokhtar.</p>
<p>Brigadier General Yahya Elahi, police chief of Lorestan, announced on
Tuesday that the operation was launched after police intelligence units
flagged suspicious activity involving two vehicles on one of the
region\u2019s highways.</p>

to flee. Police forces responded by disabling the vehicles through
gunfire, successfully apprehending all three occupants.</p>

<h3>Over 22,000 rounds of Kalashnikov ammo seized</h3>
<p>A thorough search of the vehicles revealed more than 22,000 rounds of
Kalashnikov ammunition. Authorities suspect the shipment was part of a
broader arms trafficking network operating within Iran.</p>
<p>According to Brigadier General Elahi, the suspects had loaded the
ammunition in Iran\u2019s western provinces and intended to smuggle it to the
southern regions of the country.</p>
<p>The case is currently under further investigation to determine the
full scope of the operation and identify additional collaborators.</p>
<h2>Iran thwarted Israeli attempts to undermine domestic security, judiciary spokesperson says</h2>
<p>On Monday, Iranian Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir stated that
the Israeli occupation had attempted to undermine domestic security
through a network of hostile operatives and spies, aiming to sow chaos
and carry out acts of sabotage alongside military strikes.</p>
<p>Jahangir stressed that these plots were thwarted thanks to the decisive measures taken by judicial and security agencies.</p>
<p>He added that urgent orders were issued to establish special judicial
branches across provinces to prosecute traitorous elements and to begin
tracking virtual accounts linked to the Israeli occupation, in
coordination with the relevant security bodies.</p>
