Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib has said that his country is facing two enemy strategies centered around popular protests and assassinations. The country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had earlier accused foreign parties of stoking conflict between the public and Iranian authorities.
“The enemies are mobilizing all their energies against us because they realized that there is a force within the regime that is ready to confront any threat, despite the presence of all these foreign intelligence services," Khatib said at a Revolutionary Guards meeting in Zahedan, the capital of Balochistan province.
