Iranian security and judicial authorities have announced the dismantling of several armed terror cells and the arrest of foreign-linked operatives amid a wave of foreign-backed riots that have claimed the lives of several law enforcement officers.

The unrest has continued for several days, with rioters exploiting public concerns over rising living costs and currency depreciation to incite violence.

In the western city of Borujerd, Public Prosecutor Goodarz Amraei confirmed the arrest of several ringleaders for orchestrating riots and attacking religious sites and public property.

According to judicial reports, the suspects were non-local individuals with extensive criminal records who had entered the city specifically to incite violence.
