Tasnim news agency, citing Iran’s intelligence ministry, announced on Sunday that Iranian authorities had neutralized 30 bombs intended to go off simultaneously in Tehran and arrested 28 terrorists linked to Da’ish.
Iran’s intelligence ministry said in a statement, “Some of the members are of Da’ish and the perpetrators have a history of being affiliated with Takfiri groups in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Kurdistan region of Iraq.”
A number of devastating explosions in Iran, including those at the Iranian parliament and the shrine of the Islamic Republic’s founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 2017, have been attributed to the militant group.
Da’ish has recently claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shia shrine in the southwestern city of Shiraz, in which 15 people were killed last October.
