It said the terrorist team planned to carry out destabilizing acts and terrorist operations in the holy city of Mashhad.
The terrorists also intended to attack the office of the Governor General of Khorasan Razavi, it added, Press TV reported.
According to the statement, huge amounts of weapons, ammunition and explosives have been discovered from the hideout of the terrorists.
