Intelligence Forces Smash Terrorist Team East of Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s intelligence forces dismantled a terrorist cell in the country’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan, killing six militants, capturing two others, and seizing a large cache of sophisticated weapons, vehicles, and other operational equipment.
The Intelligence Ministry’s office in Sistan and Balouchestan said the main operational team consisted of seven non-Iranian terrorists armed with laser-guided RPG-7s, American-made M4 and M16 rifles, hand grenades, grenade launchers, explosive vests, handheld radios, a large quantity of ammunition, and anti-personnel RPG charges.
Several vehicles, motorcycles, and related tools were also confiscated in the operation.
The terrorist group intended to target a critical installation in eastern Iran. The planned target closely resembled military facilities struck by the Zionist regime during the 12-day imposed war, revealing the Israeli-linked nature of the terrorist team.
Investigations indicated that the group had undergone specialized military training, including exercises on a mock-up of the intended target. These preparations matched operational patterns previously linked to Israel’s Mossad spy service, with several past cases showing similar methods and training courses.
During an intense exchange of fire, six terrorists were killed and two others apprehended.
Three Iranian security forces were wounded in the clash, including two from the provincial intelligence department and one from the Police.
Officials said the injured servicemen are receiving medical care.
