TEMPO.CO, Tehran – Iran claimed to have dismantled an alleged "terror network" supported by Israel's Mossad intelligence services based in the United Kingdom, as stated by Iran's Intelligence Ministry, Sunday, May 2. Iran officials stated that the network was planning to spoil Iran's upcoming presidential elections on June 14.


"The intelligence ministry has identified and arrested the members of this terror network, and confiscated their weapons," the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) said on its website, quoting a statement by the ministry.


The statement said the terror cell had connections with Mossad through an unnamed reactionary Arab country. Tehran did not mention the nationality of the terrorist cell. The captured group consisted of 12 people but it did not state when this group was apprehended.


The Intelligence Ministry said the terror group was instructed "to conduct terrorist acts ahead of, and in particular, on election day" as well as "creating ethnic and religious divisions" in restive areas of Iran.
