IRGC Claims It Dismantled Israel-Linked Cell in Southeast Iran

The IRGC Ground Force’s Quds Headquarters said it dismantled a team shortly after it entered the Saravan area of Sistan and Baluchestan near Pakistan. The statement claimed one person was killed and six members or supporters were arrested in an operation involving provincial intelligence and police. It said forces seized 20 explosive packages, weapons, ammunition and Starlink communications equipment. The IRGC alleged that the group was linked to Israel and the United States and planned attacks during the U.S.-Iran war, but named no suspects or targets, provided no evidence, and received no Israeli or U.S. confirmation.
