Iran arrested 35 members of alleged ‘Zionist spy cell’, regime’s intelligence ministry claims
Iranian regime authorities arrested a “separatist terror group” across six provinces, accused of being linked with Mossad, and other “American-Zionist enemy services,” the regime’s Intelligence Ministry announced on Wednesday.
This included 35 “terrorist elements, separatists, and arms smugglers,” Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated outlet Tasnim News Agency reported.
One of those detained was identified as the “founder and leader of a Zionist-associated terror group attempting to secede from Khuzestan Province,” the report claimed.
The group run by this “terrorist” was tied with several “assassination and bombing operations” across the province, including killing intelligence officers and members of the IRGC’s Basij paramilitary, authorities said.
The “terror leader” was arrested in Isfahan Province, the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) reported.
The regime claimed that 11 other members of the terror group were arrested and five others killed by security forces in the past two months.
