The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ Public Relations Department announced that the IRGC forces have gunned down a number of the terrorists of the Democrat Group in clashes near the city of Mahabad in West Azarbaijan province.

The clashes occurred between the IRGC and the counterrevolutionary armed group, the Democrat, in Sarvabad border region near Mahabad city.

The clashes broke out near the village of Bengovin in the outskirts of Mahabad in Northwestern Iran.

The IRGC public relations did not mention the exact number of the Democrat terrorists killed in Mahabad clashes.

“A number of terrorists of the Democrat Grouplet who were in Bengovin village near Mahabad city to conduct terrorist activities were identified by IRGC forces and they were, hence, engaged in clashes,” an IRGC member of Mahabad said earlier today.

He noted that the clashes were underway near Bengovin village without mentioning the number of casualties or any other details.

On Monday, the Iranian intelligence ministry announced that the country’s security forces have defused several suicide and terrorist attacks in different provinces, including Tehran.

“One of the biggest terrorist plots of Takfiri Wahhabi groups was thwarted” in recent days, the intelligence ministry said in a statement.

The statement added that the Takfiri terrorist groups had plotted imminent bombings in different parts of the country, including Tehran and a number of other provinces, during the religious ceremonies in the holy month of Ramadan.

The ministry ensured that all these have been foiled by the country’s security and intelligence officials.

“The terrorists have been apprehended and a number of ready-to-explode bombs and a large amount of explosive materials has been discovered and seized from them,” it said.

Given the continued field investigations in and outside the country and interrogation of terrorists that is currently underway, more information will be released in future, the statement added.
