On Wednesday, the IRGC's Intelligence Department and the Ministry of Security announced the successful dismantling of a network plotting to incite unrest within the country.

In a joint statement, the two governmental agencies hailed the operation as a significant blow to an organized network fomenting unrest in Iran.

The statement revealed that "members of this network had received financial support from the United States' Department of State and were directed through an Iranian opposition politician residing abroad."

According to the statement, this network had conducted "seminars for individuals both inside and outside the country, providing free virtual courses for activists in the fields of women's rights and civil society."

The statement also disclosed that the most recent training workshop organized by this network took place in July last year, hosted by an Iranian opposition journalist at the University of SOAS in the United Kingdom.
