On October 27, the political and security assistant to the governor of Mazandaran province reported the martyrdom of 2 members of the Basij in a terrorist attack in Amol, northern Iran. 

In this context, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi stressed Wednesday that "the attempt to destabilize Iran is a manifestation of the enemy's anger and despair," noting that "the parties that caused the Syrian crisis in Damascus will not be able to succeed in Tehran."

A few days ago, Raisi said that "the riots in the country are preparing the ground for terrorist attacks, such as the one that targeted the Shah-e-Cheragh religious shrine in Shiraz," stressing that "the enemy's intention is to impede the country's progress." 

For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed that his country "will not allow Iran's national security and interests to become a puppet of terrorists," noting that "there is reliable information that the enemies planned a multi-stage project to destabilize Iran's security."
