The police chief of the Iranian city of Rey, Colonel Hossein Mafi, announced the arrest of members of a terrorist cell and the discovery of drone-making equipment in a house in the area.
"We received a report that suspicious individuals were seen in a house. Intelligence and security forces immediately entered the house and seized a large number of drones, equipment for making suicide drones, and homemade bombs," Colonel Hossein Mafi said, according to IRNA.
He added, "The weight of the explosives found exceeded 200 kilograms. Approximately 30 wings, 33 launch pads, and numerous suicide drone manufacturing equipment were also found. If these devices had been assembled, they would have caused significant destruction in various areas and possibly led to the martyrdom of our citizens."
He stressed that "thanks to God, the security forces, and our colleagues in the police force, the plot of the Mossad terrorists was thwarted."
The Ray City Police Chief noted, "This terrorist cell had several drones ready to be manufactured, and fortunately, we arrested these terrorist elements."
He called on citizens to report any suspicious activity, saying, "A simple piece of information could prevent a major disaster."
In turn, the commander of the Internal Security Forces in the city of Ray announced the thwarting of one of the largest terrorist plots linked to ISIS and the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, as reported by Tasnim News Agency.
