Iran’s intelligence ministry claims it broke up what it described as extensive Mossad activity inside the country on Sunday. According to reports from Tehran, security forces dismantled two operational cells operating in West Azerbaijan, Kerman, and Alborz provinces. Iranian officials also claim the cells were planning to carry out terrorist attacks against “sensitive centers” and even assassinate a senior figure.
The Iranian report says a gunfight broke out during arrests in West Azerbaijan, killing one suspect while others were detained. Separately, authorities announced the arrest of a citizen identified as “Masoud T.,” whom Tehran labeled a “traitor” who allegedly attempted to smuggle classified military information out of the country. Alongside the announcement, Iranian officials released photos of equipment including micro-drones, weapons, and Starlink satellite communication devices they claim were seized in the raids.
The information comes directly from the intelligence ministry of Iran’s murderous ayatollah regime, with no independent or Israeli confirmation. Experts note that similar announcements are published in Tehran with high frequency, often to justify false arrests of citizens or to project an image of security control amid rising internal tensions—all against the backdrop of the possibility of renewed Israeli-American military action in the region.
