In a statement, the Intelligence Ministry said a total of 14 agents of the American-Zionist enemy and operatives of terrorist groups have been identified and arrested by judicial order in the provinces of Kermanshah, Alborz, Fars, and Kerman.

From a terrorist team arrested in Kermanshah province, a large number of homemade bombs, significant amounts of explosives and fuses for making homemade bombs, a handgun, and three Starlink devices were discovered and seized.

The mercenaries of this operational cell were directed by an individual in Germany for terrorist activities, including attacks on important government and media centers in the province.

Five other arrested mercenaries in Alborz province were engaged in gathering information about military centers and photographing sensitive areas of the province (before and after impacts) and sending it to the enemy. Special scissors for removing obstacles and fake mission orders for security forces were discovered from these individuals.

Additionally, four of the arrested mercenaries in Kerman province were linked to the media headquarters of the Zionist regime (Iran International TV). They were involved in sending the addresses of Iranian military and security forces’ locations to the terrorist TV network.

Another mercenary, who gathered and sent information about the locations of the country’s refineries to the American-Zionist enemy, was identified and arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence in Fars province.

This traitorous element, while providing an assessment of the capacity and potential of the Iranian refineries, sent their coordinates for an attack by the American-Zionist enemy on vital and civilian infrastructure.
