Iranian security forces announced on June 12 that they had neutralized a terrorist group linked to the United States and Israel in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, located in the southeastern part of the country. The operation was carried out as part of enhanced security measures to address external threats.
According to the official statement, the group was accused of planning attacks on key targets in the region. Members of the group were arrested, and a quantity of weapons and military equipment was seized at the scene. Iranian authorities emphasized that this operation is part of a broader campaign against foreign-backed saboteurs.
Sistan-Baluchestan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long been considered a security hotspot in Iran due to the presence of separatist armed groups and smuggling activities. However, this incident marks an escalation in Tehran's accusations that the US and Israel are interfering in the country's internal affairs.
There has been no official response yet from the US or Israel regarding the information. Analysts suggest that this development could further heighten already escalating tensions in the region, especially given that international negotiations over Iran's nuclear program have not yet reached a final outcome.
