Iran Says It Broke Up Terror Cell, Seized 50 Pistols

Iran's announcement ties domestic security operations directly to external adversaries, a framing that serves both internal legitimacy and regional messaging. The detail on seized small arms and magazines suggests supply-chain disruption rather than a single plot, which matters for how border provinces are governed. Whether these claims are corroborated independently, and whether similar operations follow in other provinces, is the open question worth watching.
