Iranian authorities neutralized 30 bombs that were set to explode simultaneously in Tehran and arrested 28 terrorists linked to the Islamic State group, the Intelligence Ministry said on Sunday, as quoted by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, as reported by Reuters.
“Some of the members are from the Islamic State (IS) and the attackers have a history of ties to Takfiri groups in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraqi Kurdistan,” Iran’s intelligence ministry added in a statement.
The militant group has claimed responsibility for several attacks in Iran, including two deadly bombings in 2017 that targeted Iran’s parliament and the tomb of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
The jihadist group also claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shiite shrine last October that killed 15 people in the southwestern city of Shiraz.
