In a statement released on Sunday, the Public Relations Department of Fars provincial Intelligence Office said fifteen members of the team, who had actively participated in January’s foreign-sponsored riots, were identified and captured following technical and surveillance operations.
The detainees were operating in two separate cells and were in close contact with a newly-established foreign-based anti-Iran terrorist outfit.
The statement added that the members of the terrorist team had received training to conduct bombings and various acts of sabotage at the behest of the Tel Aviv regime, but were nabbed before they launched any hostile action.
Iranian intelligence forces could recover five assault rifles, 61 bullets, and five Starlink satellite internet terminals from the terrorists’ hideouts, Press TV reported.
The statement emphasized that the presence of firearms among the seized items points to the extent of the plot, which the terror team had hatched in order to cause widespread insecurity and threaten the livelihood of ordinary people.
