Iran announced that security forces dismantled four armed cells described as “terrorist” groups in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, alleging links to the United States and Israel.

The Ministry of Intelligence said the operations were carried out in coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and police, resulting in the arrest of five suspects and the deaths of two others during armed clashes.

Authorities also seized weapons, ammunition, grenade launchers, communication equipment, and a Starlink satellite internet system, without identifying the groups involved.
