A Takfiri terrorist linked to a Daesh-affiliated ring, which planned to carry out hundreds of terror attacks in the capital, Tehran, was arrested by a division of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

According to the commander of the local IRGC division the arrestee belonged to the Daesh-affiliated Ajnad al-Sham (Soldiers of the Levant) group, which is mainly active in the western Syrian provinces of Idlib and Hama, PressTV reports referring to Mehr News Agency.

''So far, very important information has been collected from the Daesh element's phone, and he remains under investigation,'' he said.

The commander said the terrorist group has been intending to conduct 300 terror operations in Tehran during the holy lunar month of Muharram -- when Shia Muslims gather in throngs to mourn the martyrdom of the Third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein and his companions.
