The Ministry of Intelligence identified and arrested four operational teams of the Mossad intelligence agency.
According to ISNA, the Ministry of Intelligence stated in a communiqué that the Israeli intelligence and security organization, by exploiting the recent weeks’ unrest in several parts of the country, intended to conduct multiple combined terrorist operations by directing operational teams, all of whom were arrested before taking any action.
The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence also mentioned that leads regarding a Mossad bridgehead in a European country were obtained, and the results will be announced as soon as the investigations are completed.
This communiqué did not provide further information about the number and identity of the arrested individuals.
Over the past 43 years, any protest in Iran has been attributed to the enemies of the Islamic Republic, and numerous times individuals have been arrested and even executed on false charges of affiliation with foreign intelligence and security organizations.
