Shafaq news agency reported on Friday that the Iraqi security forces neutralized a terrorist cell of eight people in Basra, south of Iraq, who were planning to organize riots to further fuel the destabilization of the situation in Iran.

According to an official from the province of Basra, "A terrorist cell that planned protests so as to destabilize the situation in Iran and spark violence there has been neutralized," adding that the cell was made up of seven Iraqis and one Indian national.

The suspects had been arrested during an inspection while they were crossing the Iraqi-Iranian border.

Border security agents found explosives, hand grenades, and other weapons in the culprits' possession. 

Iran has in recent months been facing a surge of riots over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, which was wrongfully reported by western media as having been caused by blows to the body and head while under the custody of the Iranian Morality Police.

"Nationals of 14 countries were arrested during the recent events, including Americans, British, French, and Austrians, as well as people from Russia and Afghanistan."
