The networks were identified in Sirjan County as part of ongoing operations against operatives carrying out an enemy plot to disrupt security and cause destruction in Iran.
According to a statement, the members had been organized into networks with names designed to attract teenagers and young people and had specific duties and plans for actively participating in nationwide calls for unrest.
The statement said the suspects had also been preparing to create street unrest and carry out acts of sabotage by producing large quantities of Molotov cocktails and making tools to destroy urban surveillance cameras and other equipment.
It added that the suspects had engaged in extensive acts of violence and vandalism during the unrest in early January, including setting fire to the governorate building, damaging banks and government offices, destroying public and private property, damaging urban surveillance cameras and buildings, and attacking a police station in an attempt to obtain weapons.
