Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on Tuesday that its intelligence forces neutralized an alleged 'anti-security network' orchestrated by U.S. and Israeli intelligence services. The group, described as comprising 'deceived individuals and traitors,' reportedly aimed to destabilize Iran between November 6 and December 21 this year.
According to an IRGC statement published on Sepah News, coordinated operations led to arrests across multiple provinces. While specific dates and identities remain undisclosed, the IRGC accused Israel of acting as 'the U.S. proxy in West Asia,' shifting tactics after what it called a 'military failure' during a 12-day conflict in June 2025.
The IRGC referenced heightened tensions earlier this year, including Israeli airstrikes on June 13 targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, followed by U.S. strikes on June 22 against facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks before a June 24 ceasefire took effect.
Analysts suggest this announcement underscores ongoing regional friction, with security dynamics remaining volatile nearly five months after direct hostilities ended. The IRGC emphasized continued vigilance against perceived foreign interference.
