IRGC Captures 12 Israel-Linked Elements in Iran

The IRGC announced on Sunday that its intelligence forces have arrested a network of 12 Israel-linked individuals in six provinces of Iran.

The mercenary elements were cooperating with the Zionist regime and had plotted to carry out operations to upset the security of the Iranian people, the statement said.

The IRGC said the Israeli regime’s criminal leaders had planned a chain of “anti-security measures” in Iran as part of attempts to stir up a crisis inside the country in the wake of the dismal failure of the Zionist regime and its Western and European sponsors, particularly the US, to achieve their sinister objectives against Gaza and Lebanon.

In remarks in July, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei condemned the barbaric actions of the usurping Zionist regime, saying, “The Zionist regime is not a government. They're a gang of criminals. They’re a gang of murderers. They’re a gang of terrorists. In their acts of terrorism, cruelty, and crime, they’ve reached a new level in their shocking crimes in the history of human criminality in the world.”

The Leader also highlighted the martyrdom of countless infants, children, hospital patients, and women in Gaza, stating, “The heavy bombs of the Zionists are being dropped on those who have not even fired a single bullet.”

At least 41,431 Palestinian people have been killed and 95,818 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 2023.
