The police chief of Nowshahr, Colonel Ali Akbar Darvishi, said on Saturday that the arrested terrorists had intended to commit a terror act in the northern city.
The terrorist elements were identified due to security measures, local police added.
With a population of 150,000 people, Nowshar is located in the northern province of Mazandaran.
Earlier in late August, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence announced the arrest of 14 Daesh-Khorasan terrorists in four provinces across the country.
In a statement, the Ministry said the terrorists had been arrested in the provinces of Tehran, Alborz, Fars, and Khuzestan.
