Iran claims to have thwarted a foreign terrorist plot

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) claimed Monday it had disbanded a terrorist cell affiliated to foreign spy agencies planning sabotage missions in various parts of Iran. Arrests took place in the southern province of Khuzestan as the team arrived, following “complicated intelligence, surveillance, monitoring and control operations outside the borders of Iran.” The IRGC further claimed to have seized “attachable and roadside bombs and communications terminals equipped with internet encryption devices.”
