Iran’s Intelligence Ministry Releases Footage of Daesh Members’ Arrest

A video clip will be broadcast by the state-run television on Monday night, showing details of an extensive intelligence operation to catch the Daesh members and their confessions about preparing for the attacks.

The detained terrorists have revealed details of formation of cells in Iran, how they received equipment and the terrorist attacks they had been planning to carry out.

In the video report, dubbed ‘Depth of Failure’, a member of Daesh admits receiving 600,000 euros, holding meetings near a park in central Tehran and purchasing vehicles with Tehran license plate on Daesh’s orders.

 The video also shows hidden-camera footage of the terrorists’ activities recorded by the Intelligence Ministry agents.

On June 20, the Intelligence Ministry announced in a statement that its agents thwarted a major plot by the Takfiri-Wahhabi groups for a series of bombing raids across the country during religious events in the holy month of Ramadan.

A few days later, Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alawi said a series of operations to arrest the terrorists had begun on June 14 and continued until June 20.

According to the minister, 10 Takfiri-Wahhabi terrorists were arrested in Tehran and three border and central provinces of the country, saying they had masterminded different operations including planting bombs, detonation of remote control bombs, suicide attacks, and blowing up explosive-laden vehicles.

The terrorists wanted to carry out bombing raids in crowded locations, and had located 50 targets, the minister explained, saying they had even prepared the explosive material for some of the attacks and were preparing or receiving some for the others.

Alawi said 100 kilograms of explosive material -ready for blast- and precursor chemical compounds were confiscated in the operations, while the intelligence activities blocked the delivery of 2 tons of explosive materials to the terrorists.
