Iran's Ministry of Intelligence announced the arrest of another 'terrorist group' affiliated with ISIS. The statement released on Saturday, June 24, indicates that the group intended to carry out terrorist actions in the deep provinces and religious cities of the country, but was identified by the Ministry of Intelligence, which arrested its members on Friday. The statement adds that several Kalashnikov rifles, Beretta submachine guns, suicide belts, bomb-making materials, detonators, and other technical bomb-making tools were discovered from the detainees. Images of these weapons and tools were also published by Iran's Labor News Agency, ILNA. On June 7, the capital of Iran was the scene of attacks that resulted in the deaths of at least 17 people. The group known as 'Islamic State' or ISIS, which had previously threatened Iran with attacks, claimed responsibility for these incidents, after which the Ministry of Intelligence and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) separately announced the arrest of several other terrorist groups in the country. According to one of the statements from the Ministry of Intelligence published on June 9, 41 ISIS members were arrested in various provinces, including Tehran, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and West Azerbaijan. The IRGC also reported the destruction of terrorist groups in the provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan and Kurdistan in the following days, stating that the group in Sistan and Baluchestan had received support from the Saudi intelligence agency. In another action, on June 18, this military force launched several missiles at areas in Deir ez-Zor, Syria, claiming to target the positions of 'takfiri groups.' During this time, the police also reported the arrest of individuals linked to ISIS in Tehran and Karaj. In this context, the IRGC announced the destruction of a 'terrorist team' in Kurdistan. Three Iranian security and military officials stated that the attacks on ISIS were based on a resolution from the Supreme National Security Council. An 'anti-terrorism' drill was conducted at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport. Hajizadeh stated that the U.S. may have been informed of the missile attack on ISIS through the Russians.
