IRGC says it busted Iraq-based militant groups in western Iran
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says its forces have dismantled anti-government militant groups based in northern Iraq in the city of Baneh in Iran’s Kurdistan Province as they allegedly attempted to smuggle a large shipment of new American-made weapons and ammunition into the country.
According to Sepah News, the Public Relations Office of the Hamzeh Seyyed al-Shohada Headquarters of the IRGC Ground Forces said large quantities of weapons and ammunition were discovered and seized during the operation, News.Az reports, citing Fars News Agency.
The IRGC claimed the groups were acting on behalf of the United States and Israel.
