46 individuals were arrested as part of the Plan to Combat Trouble-makers, code-named Zafar, meaning Victory.
The Plan to Combat Trouble-makers was initially launched in Tehran in September and soon spread to cities and towns across the nation. Under the scheme, thousands were arrested within a period of several months on various charges such as racketeering and loansharking.
Iranian officials often refer to millions of unemployed young men, who are largely beset by frustration and despair, as trouble-makers.
