TEHRAN – Intelligence reports show that Iranian embassies and missions have been attacked by some mercenaries, who are directly in contact with certain security services, an Iranian lawmaker said Sunday.
MP Abbas Moqtadaei said security reports indicate that elements of the Western agencies have been involved in programming and developing the recent unrest in Iran and anti-establishment protests in other countries.
“The enemies of the Islamic Republic have resorted to the pretext of the death of an Iranian girl in order to incite the sentiments of people. Hence, the incident has been used by foreign spy agencies to create chaos in Iran,” he said.
The lawmaker from Isfahan went on to say that the ringleaders of the recent riots have confessed that they had received money from certain Western states such as the United States, as well as the Zionist regime.
Faced with the lack of public support, the enemies try to insinuate that the Iranian people have many problems, but the Iranian nation has distanced itself from the opposition and rioters, he added.
Moqtadaei said the European Union also fell for U.S. and Zionist plots in the sedition, but they failed to achieve their goals.
The MP said the failure of the U.S. and the Zionist regime strengthened the Islamic Republic and showed the world that Iran is no place for a velvet coup.
According to the legislator, the existing coordination and collaboration among the people, the administration, as well as security and military forces helped foil the plot and prevent the country from a slipping into a crisis.
