IRGC: Mossad sabotage cell eliminated in northeastern Iran

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on August 30 that it had successfully eliminated a terrorist cell in the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi.

According to the IRGC, quoted by Iranian media, “these elements passed information about important and secret centres, as well as prominent military figures, to Mossad agents during the recent 12-day war with Israel.” 

The cell “attempted to develop and carry out operations against government and military officials and destroy important centres in the city of Mashhad.”

In addition, authorities reported that “a large amount of raw materials for the manufacture of launchers, bombs, explosives, and explosive devices were discovered” during the operation.
