Iranian state media and the IRGC alleged that the cell was working in tandem with the United States and Israel.

Police also noted that the captured individuals were tied to previous attacks, including the killings of several law enforcement personnel and an IRGC serviceman in the Saravan region earlier this year.

US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Geopolitical Alignment & Timing
The IRGC stated that this cell was specifically pushed across the border to exploit broader geopolitical instabilities. Iranian officials tied the infiltration directly to what they term the “US-imposed war on Iran,” claiming that foreign intelligence agencies are utilizing groups like Jaish al-Adl to sabotage interior infrastructure and stretch Iranian security forces thin during ongoing regional proxy conflicts.
Following the raid, the Quds Headquarters issued a strict warning, declaring the security of Sistan and Baluchestan a “red line” and promising that any cross-border mercenary movements would face “severe and decisive” neutralization. Neither the United States nor Israeli officials have commented on the allegations.
