Tehran has been cracking down on US-backed efforts to employ Starlink across the country, in order to thwart the activities of rioters linked to foreign intelligence

Many of these arms are US-built weapons that were seized from “militants” who had hidden them in homes across Iran, the Intelligence Ministry said on 13 January.

State television also reported that several “terrorist groups” linked to Israel were detained in the southeastern city of Zahedan.

According to Sepah News, armed groups linked to Israel – which recently infiltrated Iran through its eastern borders – were dismantled in a joint operation by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground force, police, and intelligence forces in Zahedan.

The report also reveals that US-made weapons were found.

The announcement comes as authorities in Iran have reportedly thwarted a US attempt to provide internet to the country via Starlink.

Iran had cut the internet across the country in recent days to prevent the activity of riot leaders linked to foreign intelligence.

“The internet was only cut after we confronted terrorist operations and realized that orders were coming from outside the country. We have recorded voices of individuals giving orders from abroad to terrorist agents, instructing them to fire at police forces and fire at demonstrators if police forces were not present. Their intention was to spread killing,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera on 13 January.
