Iran says four accused of plotting attack killed in Saravan

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that it killed four individuals suspected of plotting a terrorist attack in the Sistan-Baluchestan province. The IRGC claimed to have targeted a professional terrorist team that was allegedly planning to strike the city of Saravan. This operation resulted in the deaths of three Iranian soldiers as well.

The statement, published by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, did not provide further details about the fighting, which reportedly began after security forces raided a house allegedly used by mercenary terrorists. The IRGC has accused the United States and Israel of inciting insecurity in the region.
