Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced the arrest of 31 individuals in Kerman Province, alleging they belonged to four organized sabotage networks. The ministry claimed these groups were acting under the direction of the United States and Israel to prepare for street riots and property destruction, including the use of Molotov cocktails and tools to damage surveillance equipment. Following these developments, foreign ministers from 32 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy, issued a joint declaration condemning Iranian hybrid operations. The declaration specifically cited an incident on September 27 at the RAF Fairford base in England as evidence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' intent to conduct clandestine activities, such as plots, assassinations, and cyberattacks, beyond Iranian borders. The signatory nations pledged to work collectively to investigate and prosecute those conducting such hostile activities. In an updated joint statement, the 32 signatory nations reaffirmed their condemnation of hostile hybrid operations attributed to Iran. The declaration denounces a range of activities, including ‘plots, murders, arson, sabotage, and cyberattacks’ intended to intimidate individuals and undermine national sovereignty. The United Kingdom assessed that the September 27 incident at the RAF Fairford base demonstrates the IRGC’s intent to project hostility through clandestine networks and proxy groups. The group emphasized their unity in protecting their communities and defending sovereignty against such interference.
