“Three of the terrorists arrested were trained in IRGC bases in Iran, and the rest were “linked to the cell in various roles,” according to Saudi-state media.

The arrests were made last week after a probe uncovered the suspects’ identities and two hideouts: a house and a farm, according to a statement made by the Presidency of State Security, a Saudi intelligence body.

“At the UN’s 75th General Assembly, the IRI president Hassan Rouhani has claimed that its regime supports peace and combats extremism.”

In a Thread on her Twitter account, Morgan Ortagus wrote that money should’ve gone back to the Iranian people they stole it from.

At #UN75, @HassanRouhani claimed that Iran supports peace & combats extremism- if only that were true. The Iranian regime has actually sent more than $16 billion to its terror proxies & partners since 2012. That money should've gone back to the Iranian people they stole it from.

“Our sanctions have saved countless Muslim, Jewish, and Christian lives by denying Tehran access to billions of cash which the failed JCPOA gifted the regime and paved the way for Iran to become the arms dealer of choice for terrorist groups and dictators all across the world in just five short years.”
