IRGC arrests seven members of UK-linked network

WORLD, Dec. 26 (YPA) – Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced Sunday that it has arrested “seven leaders of recent riots” who had been linked to Britain.

The IRGC branch of southern Kerman Province has dismantled “an organized network called Zagors, which was led directly by the elements from Britain and formed a team of active anti-revolutionary elements inside and outside the country,”  Mehr News Agency quoted a statement from the IRGC branch as saying.

The statement added that the network was carrying out schemes and plots during the recent riots in the country.

Some of them were dual nationals who were trying to flee the country, it noted.

The IRGC’s Intelligence Organization is trying to identify and pursue other “internal and external elements” of the network, it said, adding that more information will be provided later.
