Brigadier General Goudarzi said on Sunday that the militants were affiliated with a terrorist group and had entered Iran through the southeastern border.
He said that they were identified while they were seeking to carry out a “sabotage” act in Saravan County.
The arrested terrorist has confessed that he was a member of the Ansar al-Furqan terror group, he added.
A sizable cache of munitions was confiscated as well, Goudarzi said.
