On September 24, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that it had defused 30 bombs meant to go off simultaneously in Tehran and detained 28 terrorists in different provinces across the country.
In a statement, the ministry said that the explosions were supposed to take place on the anniversary of last year’s protests with the aim of “undermining security authority and presenting a negative image of the security situation in Iran to cause panic and fear in the society and inciting riots and protests.”
“In recent days, during a series of simultaneous operations in Tehran, Alborz and West Azarbaijan provinces, Iran’s intelligence forces attacked several terrorist sleeper cells and teams of them in houses and arrested 28 members of that terrorist network,” the statement added.
The ministry further said that the detained perpetrators were affiliated with ISIS and some of them have a record of fighting in Syria or in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.
Two intelligence officers were wounded while attempting to apprehend a terrorist cell during one of the operations, according to the ministry.
A wave of protests hit Iran last year following the death of Kurdish Iranian woman Mahsa Amini who was arrested for allegedly breaking Iran’s strict rules on wearing the hijab, the Islamic head covering for women. The violence claimed the lives of at least 200 people.
On September 6, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and the Intelligence Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that they had dismantled a network backed by the United States that was plotting to start riots in the country. Later on September 17, a shipment of contraband American-made stun guns which were allegedly sent to rioters in Iran were seized by intelligence officers.
