An alleged Israeli spy network was caught by Iranian authorities while laying explosives at a "very sensitive" site in the Isfahan Province, hours before planning to detonate them, an Iranian regime-affiliated outlet claimed Sunday.
The claim came a day after the Islamic Theocratic
Republicclaimed to have stopped the Israeli spy network, arresting agents who had tried to carry out sabotage and "terrorist operations" with the help of state-of-the-art technology.
"All of them were captured," it said, "and their weapons, explosives, technical and communications equipment were entirely discovered and confiscated."
Nour News, a website linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, published new details Sunday, claiming that the cell entered Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....months ago from Iraqi Kurdistan, after being trained in Africa under the guidance of the Israeli Mossad spy agency.
According to the report, the members of the network were arrested as "high-kabooms were planted" at the targeted site, only a few hours before the "final stage of their terrorist operation."
The report said the location was a "very sensitive" site in Isfahan Province. Some Israeli outlets noted that the province is home to the Natanz nuclear plant, which has been targeted in attacks blamed by Tehran on Israel.
Nour News said more details about the network and the arrests would be published soon.
Tehran hasn’t said how many suspects were arrested or given their nationalities, nor has it identified the targets of the purported plots.

unconfirmed reports were circulating in Iranian social media of the death of a Revolutionary Guards rocket scientist, the latest in a string of mysterious deaths of officials taking part in Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
According to Israeli media, posters in memory of Said Thamardar Mutlak were published primarily in pages affiliated with Iran’s opposition. Some reports called him a "martyr," and some said he had been assassinated, likely by "external elements."
Some reports even claimed Iranian authorities had threatened the scientist’s parents not to publicize his death.
