TEHRAN -- The Iranian police have arrested the ringleader and four other members of a spy network affiliated to the occupying regime of Israel’s secret services, Iranian law enforcement authorities said Thursday.
They did not give the nationality of those arrested but said that they had received training for armed operations and sabotage.
“The arrested five members of this spy network were given various pledges from Mossad, including financial promises, to gather information from important areas across the country,” the law enforcement intelligence organization said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Iran’s Minister of Intelligence Esmaeil Khatib said Tehran had foiled subversive actions from the Zionist regime.
Iranian security forces have successfully carried out a number of operations against the Zionist regime over the last few months, he said.
Last week, Iran’s security forces said they had arrested a network of agents working for the occupying regime of Israel who entered Iran from Iraq’s Kurdish region to carry out sabotage and what they called “terrorist operations”.
Nournews, an outlet affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the arrested agents were on their way to blow up a “sensitive centre” in Isfahan, which among other things houses the country’s main nuclear facilities.
The Natanz nuclear facilities in Isfahan were targeted by two major sabotage attacks in 2020 and 2021, which Iran condemned as “nuclear terrorism”.
Intelligence Minister Khatib warned countries that help the enemies of the Iranian nation should await retaliation.
He said that the Komala group based in Iraq’s Kurdistan is acting as a mercenary of the Zionist regime.
“Iran’s security and intelligence forces are well aware of any movements of the enemies,”

he said, adding, “Offensive measures are on the agenda of the intelligence community.”
Elsewhere, the minister said that enemies are waging a “hybrid war” against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Using soft war and oppressive sanctions, America seeks to revive its weakened domination in the region but to no avail, he added.
