Three Mossad mercenaries, four Takfiri terrorists captured across Iran

Iranian intelligence forces have arrested three individuals linked to Mossad and four Takfiri terrorists across multiple provinces, the Ministry of Intelligence reported Thursday.

The ministry's statement detailed several intelligence operations that resulted in the apprehension of these individuals, as well as the seizure of weapons and ammunition.

One of the arrested terrorists was operating in Golestan province where he was engaged in secret recruitment efforts for a Takfiri group.

Security forces also arrested three other members of Takfiri factions in Sistan and Baluchistan as part of ongoing operations aimed at disrupting terrorist activities in the region.

Iranian intelligence forces further apprehended three individuals attempting to pass on sensitive military information to Mossad.

According to the statement, the operatives had been recruited by Mossad through encrypted Telegram channels.

Their mission was to gather and transmit intelligence regarding sensitive military sites located in Semnan province, a key area in Iran's defense infrastructure.

The group of mercenaries was tasked with infiltrating the country’s security apparatus and relaying classified information to the Israeli intelligence network.

As part of the operations, Iranian authorities also confiscated large amounts of illicit weapons and ammunition.

In Isfahan province, intelligence forces seized four firearms and a substantial quantity of ammunition during a trafficking operation.

Another significant cache of weapons was uncovered in Kermanshah province, where 3,560 rounds of ammunition were found concealed in a hidden compartment.

The ministry also reported the confiscation of assets belonging to individuals linked to "Iran International," an Israeli-backed television network. Properties of several of these individuals were seized in the provinces of Mazandaran and East Azarbaijan.

The ministry further revealed that assets belonging to two mercenaries, residing in Canada and the United Kingdom, were confiscated in the western province of Hamadan.

In a separate incident, Iranian authorities executed Amir Hossein Hatami, who had been convicted of setting fire to a military center in Tehran during the January riots.

Hatami had confessed that his involvement in the riots was intended to steal weapons and ammunition to help destabilize the Iranian government. However, his efforts were unsuccessful as the armory he targeted contained only rifles and ammunition.

The operations come in the aftermath of the US and Israel’s unprovoked aggression against Iran, which began on February 28 with the assassination of top Iranian leaders.

In retaliation, Iran's armed forces have launched multiple waves of missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. and Israeli military positions across the region.
