TEHRAN, May 11 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced on Wednesday that two European individuals aimed at causing "unrest", "social disorder" and "instability" in the country were arrested.
The ministry said in a statement that the two individuals from a European country, who had entered Iran seeking to "abuse the rightful demands of some of the country's associations and social classes and change the direction of the normal requests toward unrest as well as social disorder and instability", were identified and arrested by its forces.
No other details about the detainees' identities and timing of arrest have been given, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The ministry added foreign plotters, who had failed to achieve their targets through enacting numerous and diverse scenarios against the Iranian nation in recent years, had dispatched two experienced agents to Iran to implement a combined plan comprising "modern soft and hard methods."
The statement said the two agents were organized by foreign intelligence services and were among the professional experts in causing unrest and instability.
The Iranian Intelligence Ministry solemnly warned against the "foreign centers of conspiracy" and vowed it will spare no effort in ensuring the people's security.
