He added, “These verdicts have been issued by the preliminary court in accordance with the regulations and interference in the Judiciary Courts affairs is quit impossible.”
The intelligence Minister said, “But talking about the status of these individuals, whether they had been mountaineers, or spies, is related to the country’s intelligence apparatus.”
Moslehi added, “As the intelligence apparatus in our surveys, talks and interrogations from the arrested Americans it was made quite clear for us that they each had certain responsibilities.”
He further emphasized, “It is quite clear that these people had come to Iran with certain missions.”
The Intelligence Minister referred to the existing data and information, based on which he argued that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the other major intelligence services of the world are actively working in Iran, adding, “We are fully aware of their activities and monitor them, and are not unaware of their moves, and of course, we make our own moves, as well.”
Moslehi reiterated, “A while ago we arrested two other foreign citizens in Iran who were planning for activating social networks inside the country, spending a huge amount of US dollars.”
He said that the oppressor world media create atmospheres aimed at achieving their objectives, reiterating, “After suffering from a heavy blow and the issuance of the Judiciary System’s verdict, which is quite independent, they are now busy creating an atmosphere in favor of themselves.”
INTELLIGENCE MINISTRY’S BLOWS AGAINST ANTI-RELIGIOUS NETWORKS TO CONTINUE
The Intelligence Minister referred to the destruction of an anti-religious network on the internet, adding, “The unknown soldiers of the 12th Imam (may God hasten his reappearance) would keep on their actions against such networks.”
Moslehi added, “The destroyed anti-religious network had been designed by the oppressor powers.”
Foccussing on the staffs of that network, he said, “Three of them had higher education at PhD level, but they were unfortunately quite ignorant about the religious issues, and were under the influence of the oppressors, acting abroad.”
The Intelligence Minister said that these people had launched an anti-religious social network, and were stricken, adding, “In the first step, 28 of them were arrested throughout the country.”
He added, “All in all, the people had not received this anti-religious network warmly, as they are fond of their faith, but they had managed to attract certain people who did not have proper knowledge about religion and to align them with their thoughts.”
Moslehi pointed out, “Such events make heavier the responsibilities of the Cultural apparatus of the country, which must get the people, particularly the young generation, with religious questions, so that some people will not be attracted towards such groups due to ignorance, and the enemy would manage to take advantage of them for its nasty objectives.”
INT’L QODS DAY TO BE MORE GLORIOUS THAN EVER THIS YEAR
The Intelligence Minister said that the Qods Day has a particular attraction this year, arguing, “The Islamic awareness will be reflected in the Qods Day rallies this year.”
Moslehi added, “The type of stands adopted by the rebels in Egypt and the other countries have roots in the deep-rooted conflicts and the humiliation imposed against those nations, but the framework of these movements are religious and Islamic.”
He reiterated, “This year we would have a great Qods Day because the regional nations will come to the scene.”
