Iran forces kill six militants, IRNA reports, Israel link seen
Iranian forces killed six militants linked to Israel's Mossad who planned attacks on vital facilities, arresting two others amid ongoing regional insurgency, officials said.
- On Saturday, Iranian security forces killed six militants in a Sistan-Baluchistan raid and detained two suspects, officials said.
- Iranian authorities said the raid followed a deadly attack on Friday that Jaish al-Adl claimed killed five police officers, alleging links to the Mossad intelligence agency and foreign training.
- IRNA reported that all but one of the militants were foreign nationals and intense gunfire wounded two intelligence agents and a police officer.
- Iranian officials hailed the raid as a success that averted further attacks, but the deaths and detentions are likely to raise tensions with Israel and prompt increased crackdowns along border regions, security experts warned.
- Iran has long accused Israel of espionage, and earlier this month it said it detained 20 accused Mossad agents and arrested 21,000 suspects amid border insecurity in Sistan-Baluchistan province.
