Iran 'Crushes' US-Israel Attack Plan? 'Mossad & CIA Spies' Arrested; Two Armed Fighters Killed

Iran has announced a major security operation in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, claiming it dismantled two alleged Takfiri terror cells linked to what Tehran described as "US-Israeli enemy intelligence services." According to Iran's Intelligence Ministry, four suspects were arrested while two were killed during clashes with security forces before they could allegedly carry out sabotage attacks targeting key economic infrastructure. The operation, conducted in coordination with the IRGC Ground Force's Quds Base and Iranian police, comes amid heightened tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel. In a separate raid, Iranian authorities also said they dismantled a criminal gang accused of plotting kidnappings and disrupting public order in Zahedan.#iran #israel #unitedstates #us #irgc #middleeast #sistanbaluchestan #irannews #counterterrorism #takfiri #iranisrael #usiran #tehran #iranintelligence
