Iranian intelligence forces bust spy network, seize advanced US-Israeli devices
Iranian intelligence forces have seized a large consignment of advanced spying devices and communication equipment, besides capturing a spy and several separatist militants during separate operations in the country's northwestern province of West Azarbaijan.
According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Department of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence on Wednesday, the forces uncovered a large consignment of sophisticated espionage and communication equipment, including 45 US and Israeli-built devices, as it was being smuggled into the country through northwestern borders.
The devices were meant to be distributed among operatives across the country.
Additionally, Iranian intelligence forces were able to identify and arrest eight separatist militants, of whom four had set up a terror cell in the city of Piranshahr and were sharing information on the coordinates of Iranian military installations with the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.
The other terrorists were detected and captured in the cities of Urmia and Oshnaviyeh.
In a related development, an individual engaged in espionage activities at the behest of the US and Israel was nabbed in Piranshahr.
He was collecting information on Iran's sensitive sites and passing it to enemies.
The United States and Israel initiated a large-scale and unprovoked military campaign against Iran on February 28, assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
In response, Iranian Armed Forces carried out waves of retaliatory missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
