10 foreign spy agencies involved in plot to destabilize Iran: IRGC intelligence

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organization says it has foiled a terrorist plot hatched by spy agencies of 10 foreign countries aimed at fueling chaos and threatening Iran’s identity.

In a statement on Monday, the IRGC said the terrorist incidents of recent weeks were part of a major US-Israeli plot to undermine Iran’s integrity in terms of its geography and national identity.

“The enemy's command room was formed immediately after the 12-day war with the participation of 10 hostile intelligence services,” it said.

The IRGC intelligence arm said the plan was aimed at fomenting internal riots coupled with foreign intervention to pose an existential threat against the Islamic Republic.

It noted that the scheme was defeated thanks to the vigilance of Iranian security forces and the collaboration of the people.

According to the statement, the IRGC Intelligence Organization arrested 735 individuals affiliated with anti-security networks, summoned 11,000 vulnerable people, confiscated 743 unauthorized firearms, and identified 46 individuals linked to foreign services.

It said foreign political and security officials directly supported the enemy’s measures, including the spread of violence and terrorists' exploitation of public gatherings, the use of social media platforms to instigate violence, and the deployment of organized thugs and criminals as part of a plot to raise the number of fatalities among both people and security forces.

The statement said the IRGC intelligence arm seeks to infiltrate the communication networks of the rioters, dominate border terrorist networks, use deceived elements for counter-infiltration, and continue to identify and decisively confront networks that caused the riots.

IRGC: Enemy command room of 10 intel agencies targeted Iran after 12-day war

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Intelligence Organization has issued a statement, outlining the “scene of struggle” against a “foreign evil enemy” and detailing its countermeasures during recent riots.

Foreign-instigated riots in Iran escalated on January 8 and continued for several days, following peaceful protests in Iranian bazaars and markets where traders called for government action to halt the devaluation of the Iranian rial.

The violence, encouraged openly by the Israeli regime and US President Donald Trump, resulted in extensive damage to public and private property, with widespread destruction of shops, government institutions, public service facilities, and the killing of thousands of civilians, including women and children, as well as security forces.

Iranian authorities have confirmed that US and Israeli spy agencies were directly involved, providing funding, training, and media support to rioters and armed terrorists acting on the streets.

Iran’s Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs later reported that 3,117 people died during the riots, including 2,427 civilians and security personnel, noting that many innocents were killed by organized terrorist elements.
