‘Imperialist powers have spent $7.7 billion to undermine Iran’
TEHRAN, Jan. 2 (MNA) -- Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi said the imperialist powers have spent $7.7 billion over the past several years to fund efforts to undermine Iran’s Islamic system.
He made the remarks in a speech on Thursday in the town of Rey, which is located just south of Tehran.
Moslehi noted that foreigners, and especially British intelligence agencies, played a role in the political unrest of 2009, adding, “The global arrogance (imperialist powers) has spent $7.7 billion over the past few years to subvert the Islamic system.”
He went on to say that the issue of the sedition of 2009 should be addressed cautiously, but implicitly ruled out the possibility of arresting the leaders of the sedition in the near future.
“They want to be arrested, because they seek to become national heroes, so the government should deal with the issue prudently,” he stated.
“During the sedition of last year (2009), some revolutionary figures who played some roles before and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution questioned the structure of the religious system and the revolution, and now they have shown their true nature,” he said.
