Last night, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted a raid on a warehouse located on the outskirts of Chabahar port.
This facility was being used by a network allegedly working for Israel’s Mossad.
The operation was the result of several days of electronic surveillance carried out by Iranian cyber units.
During the raid, authorities arrested 141 operatives — 121 were Indian nationals and 20 were Israeli. Confiscated items included encrypted satellite phones, a one-page Binance wallet log, and a hard drive that became the key link tracing the network into Pakistan’s Balochistan province.
Investigators found a presentation on the drive titled Project Gidon-Esha. On Slide 3, locations such as Gwadar Port, Panjgur, and Mand were marked with red circles labeled BLA Remote Relay Nodes.
Another slide identified “Node-K7 Karachi” as a RAW-operated dropbox for smuggling funds and explosives destined for the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC).
This connection tied the Iranian intelligence operation directly to anti-state groups operating in Balochistan, allegedly funded and guided by Indian intelligence.
Upon discovering these links, Iranian officials promptly shared the intelligence with Pakistan.
In response, Pakistani authorities launched overnight operations targeting suspected operatives and safe houses.
The impact was swift — morale within the BLA dropped significantly.
In a secret Telegram message, a self-styled BLA commander named “Majlis” warned his network: “Indian support has been cut off. Shift from large-scale attacks to low-profile operations.”
This led to disruption of the courier network stretching from Zahedan to Quetta, as key agents refused to continue transporting arms and money.
The crackdown also affected the BYC’s propaganda campaign.
The sudden disappearance of several Indian-operated social media accounts halted their online narrative on enforced disappearances and other human rights allegations. This proved to be a severe psychological and operational setback for both groups.
One of the key detainees, Rajesh Singh alias Ramzan, turned out to be the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a prominent Mumbai-based export front.
Investigations revealed that he funneled $3.2 million to BYC via three Dubai-registered shell companies — Sehar FZE, Copperline LLC, and Badar Traders.
A major portion of the funds had been used in a global social media campaign launched in November 2024 to mislead international opinion against Pakistan.

With the network now dismantled, several longtime freelance accounts backing BYC have gone silent. This discovery has dealt a decisive blow to the propaganda machine that had long operated under the guise of human rights advocacy in Balochistan.
