TEHRAN, YJC. IRGC The second-in-command has rejected claims by Nigerian security forces about the arrest of three spies on charges of cooperating with Iran and the IRGC.

Brigadier General Hossein Salami rejected claims by Nigeria's security forces that three individuals have been arrested for involvement in espionage activities with the aim of killing two former military commanders and one religious leader of the African country.

"We strongly reject this claim,” Salami told ISNA on Monday.

The IRGC commander also denied claims about the arrest of two Iranians in Germany for selling German-made drone engines to Iran, claiming all the parts to be made domestically. "From the Wankle engines to piston and jet ones are made based on our own abilities,” said Salami.
