January 14, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Iranian intelligence has announced the seizure of guns, ammunition, and over 200 kilograms of explosives from foreign-backed cells that participated in the instigation of riots across the country. Many of these arms are US-built weapons that were seized from “militants” who had hidden them in homes across Iran, the Intelligence Ministry said on 13 January. State television also reported that several “terrorist groups” linked to Israel were detained in the southeastern city of Zahedan. According to Sepah News, armed groups linked to Israel – which recently infiltrated Iran through its eastern borders – were dismantled in a joint operation by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground force, police, and intelligence forces in Zahedan.

Israel is also a serious U.S. partner in efforts to fragment and destabilize African countries. This was shown when on Dec. 26 Israel formally recognized the breakaway Somali region of Somaliland. The formal recognition took place only two days before Israel’s Prime  Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s departure for extensive meetings with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The timing was the clearest signal that the recognition was not just Netanyahu’s unilateral decision.
