Terror acts by over 30 armed groups thwarted: Iran Intel. Min.


Iranian security forces have thwarted acts of terror by more than 30 terrorist cells other than Daesh Takfiri group in recent years, an official with Iran's Intelligence Ministry says.
"More than 30 armed terrorist groups had plans to carry out measures over the past few years to make the country insecure and disturb the peace of the [Iranian] people," the deputy intelligence minister for counter-terrorism said in the southern city of Shiraz on Sunday.
He added that all the terrorist moves had been foiled thanks to the vigilance of the Iranian people and great efforts by security forces in cooperation with Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Army, the police force and the judicial system.
The unnamed Intelligence Ministry's official stressed the importance of remaining vigilant in the face of new plots by terrorists and their regional and international supporters.
