“Some of them were members of the Islamic State (IS) and the perpetrators have historical links with Takfiri groups in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Kurdistan region of Iraq,” Iran’s Intelligence Ministry added.

Details of the bomb plot, as well as the location and time of the planned detonation, have not been released by Iranian officials. The efforts of Iranian intelligence are considered to have helped prevent a large-scale tragedy.

The militant group has claimed responsibility for several attacks in Iran, including deadly twin bombings in 2017 that targeted Iran's parliament and the mausoleum of the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

More recently, IS claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shia shrine last October that killed 15 people in the southwestern city of Shiraz.
