TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has dismantled a network with ties to Israel operating across six provinces in Iran.

The IRGC issued a statement late Sunday night, announcing the arrest of 12 individuals connected to a Zionist-linked network. According to the IRGC, the suspects were plotting anti-security operations targeting the Iranian public.

The IRGC emphasized that these arrests were part of an ongoing effort to counter foreign interference, particularly from Israel, which has been accused of coordinating such activities in response to the failure of its broader strategic goals. 

The statement noted that Israel, along with its Western and European allies, especially the United States, has ramped up efforts to destabilize Iran after its setbacks in Gaza and Lebanon.

The IRGC’s intelligence and security units reportedly worked to identify and track the network before making the arrests in six provinces, signaling a widespread operation. The statement did not specify the exact nature of the alleged plots, but it framed the dismantling of the network as a significant victory in the ongoing confrontation between Iran and its foreign adversaries.

The IRGC's statement concluded by reiterating its commitment to protecting national security and preventing any foreign-backed plots aimed at undermining Iran’s stability, while also linking the network’s activities to larger geopolitical dynamics in the region.
