Intelligence forces bust two Mossad-linked terror teams across Iran
Iranian intelligence forces have identified and dismantled two terror cells affiliated with the Israeli regime’s Mossad spy agency during separate operations across the country.
The Intelligence Ministry announced in a statement on Sunday that its forces had conducted a counterterrorism operation in the northwestern province of West Azarbaijan and busted a four-strong and Mossad-affiliated terror team.
The terrorists were planning to carry out terrorist attacks against sensitive facilities in the capital, Tehran, and assassinate high-profile Iranian officials. They were, however, nabbed before they could launch an act of terror.
The statement that a terrorist was eliminated during the counterterrorism operation.
Another terror team was also smashed following complicated intelligence and operational measures in the northern province of Alborz, as well as the southeastern province of Kerman.
The team had plans for carrying out acts of sabotage and terror.
A number of micro air vehicles alongside a pickup truck, three semi-automatic pistols with suppressors attached, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a considerable amount of ammunition, as well as a Starlink satellite internet terminal were seized from the terrorists.
Separately, an individual, identified as Masoud T., who had intended to transfer classified information about a military installation in Iran’s northwestern province of Qazvin, was arrested before he could depart the country.
