The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force has seized devices and equipment in northwestern Iran intended to facilitate execution of acts of sabotage and terror.
Hamzeh Sayyed al-Shohada Base of the IRGC Ground Force announced in a statement on Wednesday that following rigorous and extensive monitoring by its intelligence units, mercenary elements affiliated with foreign intelligence services, who intended to carry out acts of sabotage, were targeted in an operation in Iran’s West Azarbaijan Province.
It noted that during the operation, items including various military-grade surveillance camera systems, night vision devices, transmitters, wireless devices, laptops, tablet computers, solar panels, and other military telecommunications and optical devices were discovered and confiscated.
The statement further warned that the IRGC headquarters maintains full intelligence surveillance over the movements of terrorist elements, stressing that any action against the security of the northwestern regions of Iran would be nipped in the bud, and met with a decisive and regret-inducing response.
