Iranian security forces

Iran executed two Islamic State members, Mohieddin Abdollahi and Hossein Palani, convicted of armed rebellion against the Islamic Republic. The men were part of an ISIS cell that formed after the group's territorial defeat in Iraq and Syria, which planned attacks in Iran. Security forces discovered the cell's hideout in the Bamo mountain area near the Iraqi border, resulting in several militants killed or arrested and three Revolutionary Guard members killed during the operation.
