This comes days after Iranian sources reported that the IRGC dismantled a terrorist band in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.

According to MEHR news, the IRGC found that the terror group was backed by an EU country.

The IRGC managed to contain the group before it carried out its operation. 

Official sources revealed that the terrorists confessed to planning on carrying out a series of assassinations targeting a number of high-profile figures, as well as triggering massive riots similar to those that occurred in the cities of Zahedan and Ardabil.

In the same context, IRGC intelligence in Iran announced the arrest of 3 MKO terrorist cells in the riots before they carried out any acts in Khuzestan, Isfahan, and Fars.

The intelligence said that the terrorist units plan to recruit rioters, attack government and security centers, destroy property, and attempt to kill citizens.

Meanwhile, Tasnim News Agency reported that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps IRGC's Ground Force hammered separatist terror organizations' positions with numerous rocket launchers, precision-strike weaponry, and drones.

Iran's Foreign Ministry affirmed that military action against separatist groups is legitimate retaliation for their violations against Iran's security and borders, and was done to protect national security.
