“Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, citing the Tasnim news agency, reports that authorities neutralized 30 devices set to detonate simultaneously in Tehran and captured 28 terrorists with ties to the Islamic State.”
Iran defused 30 bombs in Tehran: “In a statement, Iran’s intelligence ministry reported that some of the members belong to the Islamic State (IS), and the perpetrators have a history of affiliations with Takfiri groups in Syria, Afghanistan, and the Kurdistan region of Iraq.”
The extremist group has claimed responsibility for a number of operations in Iran, including the devastating twin bombs that attacked the Iranian parliament and the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 2017.
More recently, IS took credit for an attack on a Shia shrine in October that left 15 people dead in the city of Shiraz in the southwest.
