Iran's Ministry of Intelligence announced on Thursday the arrest of 19 individuals in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan. The ministry claims that some of the detainees have connections to Israel and the United States and are involved in the killing of Iranian security forces. Three additional individuals are suspected of gathering and transferring information about military and security facilities in the southern part of the province.
According to the ministry's statement, 16 suspects were apprehended as part of operations against four separate cells, following public intelligence and cooperation between Iranian security agencies. Authorities alleged that some of the detainees entered Iran from abroad and that weapons were seized during the operations. The suspects have been transferred to the judicial authorities.
The announcement comes amid a series of armed clashes in Sistan and Baluchestan in recent weeks. On September 12, the Revolutionary Guards reported the deaths of four militants and three of their own personnel during a firefight in the Saravan area. The ministry did not release the identities of the suspects or provide evidence to support its claims.
