Iran intensified its security crackdown amid growing regional tensions, announcing the elimination of six alleged militants attempting to infiltrate the country through its eastern border. According to Iranian authorities, the armed group was detected near Zabol in Sistan and Balochestan Province before security forces launched a late-night operation that resulted in multiple deaths and the seizure of weapons. The development is part of a broader Iranian campaign targeting what Tehran describes as terrorist networks, foreign-backed sabotage operations, and espionage activities.
