"The members of this network, under the guidance of
anti-revolutionary agents living in Germany and the Netherlands,
were intending to carry out subversive action by procuring war
weapons and acting against national security," the Revolutionary
Guards' statement read.
The statement did not specify the nationality of the individuals
or give any other details.
Since the death of Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini on Sept. 16
in police custody, Iran has been gripped by nationwide protests
that pose one of the biggest challenges to the Islamic Republic
since its establishment in 1979.
Tehran has accused Western intelligence services of fomenting
the protests and seeking to instigate civil war in Iran.
