Iranian border guards detained a ship in southern Iran loaded with around 5,000 edged weapons made by the United States, the commander of the Border Guards of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmad Ali Goudarzi, said on Tuesday.

"A ship with more than 5,000 machetes and daggers was found in Bushehr province, the weapons were made in the United States," Goudarzi said, as quoted by Iranian news agency Tasnim.

The smuggled weapons were intended to be used for creating unrest in the country by "radical elements," he explained.

After violent protests erupted last September in Tehran following the death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman whose encounter with the Police saw large-scale anti-Tehran propaganda from the West, Iran accused the West of sowing unrest in the country.

Mahsa Amini is a young Iranian woman whose case has been exploited by several Western media outlets in order to further promote Iranophobia by fabricating lies and making use of her medical condition that led to her death merely for political purposes.

The Iranian security forces and intelligence units have uncovered numerous pieces of evidence pointing out that foreign countries are actively funding and training rioters in Iran and supplying terrorist groups with arms.

Also in September, Border Guard Commander in East Azerbaijan Province, Muhammad Ahmadi, announced arresting a terrorist cell in the province located in western Iran.

Colonel Ahmadi confirmed that "two elements of the terrorist cell were planning to carry out sabotage operations inside the country, and they found in their possession a number of weapons and munition," adding, "Within this operation, two cars carrying various military weapons, cameras, and remote explosives were stopped."

In parallel, the Iranian army commented on the protests and riots that took place in several regions against the background of the death of Amini, saying that "these measures resulting from despair are a malicious strategy of the enemies, aimed to weaken the status of the Islamic regime and the unity of the people."

In the meantime, the SNA news agency quoted the governor of the city of Malayer in Hamedan province, western Iran, as saying that 69 rioters were arrested for having in their possession a number of firearms, white weapons, and explosives.

In late October, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and the IRGC's intelligence wing revealed that intelligence obtained by Tehran indicates that the CIA and allied intelligence services planned a conspiracy against the Islamic Republic.

This came a day after two members of the Iranian popular mobilization forces (Basij) were killed in a terrorist attack in the city of Amol, north of the country. 

In response to the West's allegations, the Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson called the US and its three main European allies' attempts to launch a propaganda campaign against Iran as "futile," saying the anti-Iran propaganda is a "threadbare tactic" used to conceal their own domestic and international challenges.
