Israel allegedly carried out an assassination and document theft within Iranian territory, according to a presenter from a channel affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, quoting an Iranian intelligence source.
The presenter, Vahid Haddab, claimed that "last month, Israel assassinated a figure whose identity has not yet been identified and stole documents inside Iran." Since the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran at the end of July, speculation about Iranian retaliation has intensified, especially following the explosions of pagers and communication devices in Lebanon, as well as the attack on the Iranian ambassador in Beirut.Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced on Sunday that they were dismantling a network consisting of twelve Israeli agents who operated across six provinces in Iran with the aim of undermining the country's national security.
In a statement released via the Tasnim state-run news agency, it was reported that "after Israel's resounding failure," the Guards' forces managed to uncover the Israeli network, which sought to harm the Iranian people.
No details were provided regarding the location or timing of the arrests, and no information was given about the nationalities of the involved agents.
