The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) intelligence forces have dismantled a network affiliated with the Israeli regime that was planning to carry out measures undermining Iran’s security.

In a statement on Sunday, the IRGC announced that 12 members of the Israeli-linked network were identified and arrested in six provinces of Iran, adding that they were planning to carry out anti-security activities against the country and nation.

The IRGC went on to say that Israel has put a series of anti-security measures in Iran on its agenda following the “scandalous failure” of the occupying regime and its Western and European supporters, especially the United States, in achieving “sinister goals” against the people of Gaza and Lebanon.

“In order to counter this conspiracy, a network consisting of 12 mercenary elements of this regime, which intended to carry out anti-security measures against the people, was identified in six provinces and subjected to a decisive attack,” it said.

US, Israel will never achieve ‘vicious goals’ by killing resistance figures: Iran

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry says the United States, Israel and their allies will not achieve their “vicious goals” despite the assassination of resistance figures.

Israel has been waging an atrocious onslaught against the Gaza Strip since October 7 last year, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

At least 41,391 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and another 95,760 individuals have sustained injuries in Gaza so far.

However, the Israeli regime has failed to achieve any of its stated goals after almost 11 months of a genocidal war on the besieged territory.
