The Iranian lawmaker added that a large number of weapons and explosives have been discovered and seized from the terrorists.

Meanwhile, the Qom Province’s deputy governor for political and security affairs, Ahad Jamali, said on Tuesday that a group of Daesh Takfiri terrorists were arrested simultaneously with the twin terrorist attacks in the Iranian capital Tehran, which killed 17 people and injured over 50 others.

On June 7, gunmen mounted almost simultaneous assaults on Iran’s Parliament and the Mausoleum of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini. The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group claimed responsibility for the assaults.

Jamali pointed to Iran's recent missile attack against Daesh targets in eastern Syria and said Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) gave a crushing response to Takfiris and their regional and international allies.

The IRGC fired six medium-range ground-to-ground ballistic missiles into Daesh bases in Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr on Sunday in retaliation for the twin terrorist attacks in Tehran.

According to a Tuesday statement by the IRGC, a least 65 Daesh terrorists, including several high-ranking intelligence commanders, were killed in Iran's missile attack.
