Intelligence Ministry Vows to Curb Enemy Moves in the Coming Election

Addressing Expert Assembly in Tehran on Tuesday, Moslehi said that masterminds and perpetrators of the post-election unrests in Iran in 2009 are seeking to find themselves new allies through both overt and covert actions in an attempt to start another move to strike a blow at the principles of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic establishment.

"The intelligence ministry enjoys a high level of vigilance and will not allow these movements to derail the Esfand 12 (March 2, 2012) parliamentary election from its normal path," Moslehi noted.

On August 31, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also called on the Iranian nation to keep vigilant against the plots hatched by the enemies to misuse elections in Iran.

"Elections are the manifestation of religious democracy. However, enemies seek to misuse elections to harm the country," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large crowd of worshipers during the Eid al-Fitr prayers at Tehran University.

The Leader called on the Iranian nation to safeguard elections which are a "divine blessing".

In some relevant remarks, a well-known Iranian political analyst also warned that EU's diplomatic corps and embassies in Tehran have prepared a series of plots to stir tension and spark unrests during the upcoming parliamentary elections in Iran.

"Today, a chain of all European embassies in Iran have devoted the main pivot of their activities to Iran's 9th parliamentary elections in a bid to create a challenge for our security," Hossein Shariatmadari, who is also the editor-in-chief of Iran's government-daily Keyhan, stated.

Iran expelled two British diplomats and arrested a number of local staffs of the British embassy in Tehran after documents and evidence substantiated London's interfering role in stirring presidential post-election riots in Iran in 2009.

In one of the court hearing sessions, British embassy's local staff in Tehran Hossein Rassam, who was charged with spying, admitted cultivating networks of contacts in the opposition movement using a £300,000 budget and confessed that the local staff of the embassy had attended protests against June 2009's presidential election results along with two British diplomats, named in court as Tom Burn and Paul Blemey, and that he had attended meetings with the defeated opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi alongside Burn.

Also, an Iranian deputy intelligence minister said in January 2010 that a number of German diplomats were involved in Tehran's unrests on December 27, 2009.
