Iran Press/ Iran news: According to IRGC intelligence head Hossein Taeb, a team of terrorists were hired by the Hebrew-Arab intelligence services to enter into Iran during Fatemiyyeh with the purpose of assassinating IRGC Quds Force Commander Major General Qassem Soleimani.
He said the team was about to buy a house near a Hussainiya (a congregation place for Shias' ceremonies) belonging to Soleimani’s father, to dig a tunnel under the Hussainiya and carry 350 to 500 kilograms of explosives to the location, and to blow up the entire place as soon as Major General Soleimani entered the mourning ceremony.
Taeb also said that the enemy had been planning for years to implement the plot, but the IRGC with the help of God and through intelligence monitoring seized the team before they can carry out their plan, and foiled their hatched plot successfully thanks to the vigilant security and intelligence forces of IRGC.
He said the enemies had planned to trigger a religious war and attribute the assassination to an "act of domestic revenge". Even when the team was taken to the neighboring countries to train them, they were being monitored by the IRGC.
He said the enemies were so sure about their plot that even the "wicked" Zionist minister Benjamin Netanyahu had announced a while ago that the Israeli regime was going to assassinate Major General Soleimani.
