Mossad-Linked Operative Trained for ‘Urban Warfare’ Neutralized in Iran

Sadeq Ashtari, who had received his training at the hands of Mossad officers in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, had led an attack on a police station in the Iranian capital Tehran in January, according to a report.

The clashes also led to apprehension of the remaining members of the terror cell, the report added.

Violent rioters attacked the administrative buildings, police and bus stations and mosques in a number of cities across Iran in early January, killing some ordinary people and security forces and inflicting injuries on others.

Authorities say evidence shows foreign-backed terror groups distributed weapons, deliberately targeted civilians and security forces, and acted with the direct involvement of the United States and Israel.

Tehran has stressed that recent violent events in the country represented a continuation of failed plots by Washington and the Zionist regime following the 12-day war, stressing that such endeavours have once again been thwarted by the Iranian nation.

Tehran has also announced that hundreds of key operatives and ringleaders involved in the recent foreign-backed unrest in the country have been captured in the course of several operations. 

Iran’s Security Council also released a report on the recent violent riots across the country, confirming that more than 2,400 people, including civilians and security personnel, were martyred. It added that 690 other individuals were also killed during the riots.

According to the Saturday report, the new outlets identified the location targeted by the terrorists as the Iranian Law Enforcement’s Police Station 126 in Tehranpars.
