Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is reportedly tossing their pagers and walkie-talkies in the trash after witnessing a series of explosions targeting similar equipment used by Hezbollah.

According to Reuters, citing a senior Iranian security official, the IRGC is conducting a large-scale operation to inspect all devices with a particular focus on communication equipment. Most of the military’s devices now are either homemade or imported from China and Russia. Furthermore, concerns over potential Israeli espionage have led to a sweeping investigation within middle and upper-tier IRGC members.

Last Tuesday, hundreds of pager devices detonated across Hezbollah-controlled areas, followed by the explosion of an unspecified number of walkie-talkies on Wednesday. Both the Lebanese government and Hezbollah accuse Israel of being behind the attacks that resulted in the deaths of 39 terrorists. For their part, the IDF has neither denied nor confirmed its involvement.

Details on communication methods for the 190,000-strong IRGC force were withheld by the security official. However, he noted widespread anxiety among Iran’s governing elite, with IRGC leaders consulting Hezbollah for technical insights and dispatching exploded device samples to Tehran for expert examination.

Meanwhile, in remarks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting on Monday, Iran’s president accused Israel of seeking to provoke another war.

“We want to live in peace, we don’t want war. It is Israel that seeks to create this all-out conflict,” Pezeshkian stated. “They are dragging us to a point where we do not wish to go.”

While Iran’s involvement in the Gaza conflict is expected to remain the primary focus, the regime’s nuclear ambitions are likely to be addressed as Pezeshkian meets with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, and French President Emmanuel Macron.

According to Iran International, Pezeshkian’s entourage includes three key figures of Iran’s 2015 nuclear negotiating team, including vice president Mohammad Javad Zarif and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi along with his deputy Majid Takht-Ravanchi.
