Accordingly, a mercenary trying to infiltrate the data and computer centers of sensitive government agencies and transfer them to the American-Zionist enemy, was nabbed and arrested by the General Directorate of Intelligence of Ilam Province.
The detainee was tasked with identifying Iran’s military and security locations, hacking data and providing software support to elements of an Israeli-affiliated terrorist group. He was nabbed before he could access sensitive military, media, judicial, telecommunications, banking, economic data.
According to the announcement, a Starlink satellite device, explosive fuse, various types of electronic equipment were discovered and seized from the hideout of the mercenary.
