- IRGC uncovered and confiscated a large cache of American weapons and ammunition in western Iran.
- IRGC warned anti-Iranian factions and their operatives of a crushing response.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it has successfully thwarted a cross-border smuggling operation, seizing a massive stockpile of functional, American-made weapons and ammunition.
The specialized military hardware was intercepted and confiscated within the city of Baneh, located in the western Kurdistan province of Iran.
According to an official statement issued by the IRGC, hostile groups permanently stationed in northern Iraq were behind the operation.
Security officials detailed that these factions had carefully organized a logistical plot to traffic the US-manufactured weaponry across the international boundary into Iranian territory, with the explicit intention of launching domestic sabotage operations.
IRGC warns
The military intelligence breakthrough prompted a severe, high-level warning from the IRGC directly targeting the networks operating out of neighboring territory.
"We warn hostile groups and their agents that we will deal with any movements targeting the security of the country with strength and decisiveness, and our response will make them feel regret," the official command statement read.
The IRGC concluded its announcement by emphasizing that its border security battalions and internal security forces remain at a state of total, comprehensive readiness to defend Iran's territorial borders and maintain domestic political stability.
