Iran’s intelligence forces dismantled a terrorist cell, killing six militants, capturing two others, and seizing a large cache of sophisticated weapons, vehicles, and other operational equipment in the country’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balochistan.

According to the Intelligence Ministry's office in Sistan and Balochistan, the cell consisted of seven non-Iranian terrorists who were armed with American-made M4 and M16 rifles, laser-guided RPG-7s, grenade launchers, hand grenades, explosive vests, a large quantity of ammunition, anti-personnel RPG charges, and handheld radios. Vehicles, motorcycles, and other tools were confiscated in the operation.

The Intelligence authority added that the terrorist cell had entered the country in recent days through the eastern border to carry out a serious, precisely planned terrorist operation against a vital center.

The terrorist group intended to target a critical installation in eastern Iran, a planned target that closely resembled the targets pursued by the Israeli military during the 12-day war on Iran, which reveals the Israeli-linked nature of the terrorist team, Tansim reported.

Iran cracks down on terrorism in Sistan and Baluchistan

The Province of Sistan and Baluchistan has long been a hotspot for cross-border terrorism. The most active group operating in the region is Jaish al-Adl, a Pakistan-based organization that emerged in 2012 after the dismantling of the Jundallah group.

The group has claimed responsibility for numerous deadly attacks on civilians and security forces, including the killing of 10 police officers in October 2024 and multiple assaults in 2025. Iranian officials have described Jaish al-Adl as a proxy force for the CIA and Mossad, tasked with destabilizing Iran.

In addition to Jaish al-Adl, Iran faces threats from several other organizations. The Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), described by Iranian authorities as a “terrorist cult", has been responsible for nearly 12,000 deaths since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iranian intelligence recently dismantled MKO sabotage cells across multiple provinces, including in Tehran’s Pakdasht County in August 2025.

Meanwhile, extensive spy networks linked to "Israel" have been uncovered inside Iran, with authorities arresting 20 suspected Mossad agents in August 2025.
