RNA - "'The terrorist group, which is losing its headquarters in Mosul, thinks of capturing Tehran," Alavi's said in reaction to a recent video message by the ISIL against Iran.

 

In relevant remarks in early February, Iranian Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri disclosed that the country's security forces had arrested several terrorists affiliated to the ISIL terrorist group near the capital city of Tehran.

 

"These individuals sought to carry out their plots during the ceremonies marking the 38th anniversary of the victory of 1979 in Tehran,” Montazeri said.

 

He reiterated that as per the intelligence obtained the ISIL terrorist group has had plans to conduct terrorist attacks inside Iran.

 

Montazeri underlined that if the resistance front, supported by Iran, had not stood up against terrorists, the ISIL would have reached the country’s borders.

 

"Know that if you do not slap the enemy in the face outside the country and outside the borders, it will arrive at your gates,” Montazeri added.

 

In relevant remarks in late November, the Iranian intelligence minister announced that an ISIL ringleader who intended to enter the country's capital city of Tehran was killed by the security forces.

 

"This person known as Abu Ayesheh Kurdi was killed by the Iranian security forces," Alavi said in Tehran.

 

He said that the ISIL leader who was killed at the borders sought to travel to Tehran.

 

Alavi underlined that the Iranian security forces are fully prepared to identify and confront any suicide bomber and terrorist who seeks to carry out operations inside Iran and distort security.

 

Also in November, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Law Enforcement Affairs Hossein Zolfaqari announced that a terrorist cell was dismantled in the Eastern parts of Iran on November 21.

 

"Last night (November 21), a terrorist team was disbanded by the intelligence ministry in Eastern Iran," Zolfaqari said.

 

"The team had 4 members, one of whom was killed and three others were arrested," he added.

 

Zolfaqari said that the terrorists were carrying ammunition and explosive materials which were discovered and seized by the security forces.

 

Also in November, the Iranian intelligence ministry announced that its forces had dismantled a Takfiri terrorist group in the city of Garmsar in Semnan province to the Southeast of the capital city of Tehran before they could carry out sabotage acts inside Iran.

 

"Iran’s intelligence ministry's forces have confiscated nearly two tons of explosives from the ISIL terrorists in Garmsar city," the intelligence ministry said.

 

It said that the terrorists intended to use the explosives to carry out bomb attacks in at least 10 locations across the country.

 

The intelligence ministry did not mention the exact date of confiscation of explosives, but said it was the consequence of people’s cooperation with the ministry's forces.

 

In early November, Head of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Public Relations Department General Ramezan Sharif announced that the IRGC forces had dismantled two terrorist groups seeking to carry out sabotage acts inside Iran, adding that they were mercenaries of Saudi Arabia.

 

"By hollow promises, Saudi Arabia attempted to make the terrorist groups, including Komala and the former Democrat group (Democratic Party of Iran's Kurdistan (Hadka) affiliated to Komala party), to confront the Islamic Republic," General Sharif said.

 

"Two 12-member and 16-member teams of Democrat who had entered Iran for sabotage operations were disbanded by the IRGC's Ground Force and the intelligence ministry before they could do anything noteworthy," he added.

 

Reports also said in early November that several terrorists affiliated to the Komala Party (a terrorist group active in Kurdistan region) were captured by Iranian security forces.

 

According to Hawari Kurdistan news website, the terrorists were accused of killing three people in Kamyaran town of Iran's Kurdistan province in the past two months.

 

The arrested terrorists had confessed to relations and cooperation with members of the disbanded terrorist group, the Democratic Party of Iran's Kurdistan (Hadka), to carry out assassination of ordinary people in Kamyaran for their refusal to cooperate or finance the terrorist group.

 

The development came after the secretary of Iran's Expediency Council blasted Saudi Arabia for its destructive measures in the region, and said Riyadh is supporting and sending terrorists to Iran.

 

"The Saudi consulate in Northern Iraq helps the Komala Party (a terrorist group active in Kurdistan region) to interfere in Iran and Iraq's affairs and sends terrorists to Iran but its plots have failed due to the vigilance of the revolutionary forces," Rezayee said, addressing a forum in Alborz province near Tehran in July.

 

"The Saudis are the most evil government on Earth and are stirring turmoil in the region because of their insanity," he added.
