Iranian intelligence accuses the secret services of the US, the UK and Israel of inciting the protests

Oct. 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –

Iranian Intelligence has accused this Friday the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the British secret services (MI6), as well as those of Israel (Mossad) of inciting the protests in Iran in the context of the death of the young Mahsa Amini.

“Available intelligence documents show that the CIA, in cooperation with allied intelligence services and reactionary proxies, prior to the start of the unrest, used methods… to launch a nationwide mutiny in Iran with the aim of commit crimes against the great nation,” he specified.

These operations to “lay the foundations” and “intensify external pressures” against Tehran, would have been carried out “in close collaboration” with British Intelligence, the Israeli secret services abroad, and Saudi Intelligence, as well as various more countries.

“There is reliable information that the planning and operational execution of most of the disturbances was carried out by the Mossad service in cooperation with the most powerful terrorist groups,” he stressed in a statement, collected by the IRNA news agency.

Tehran has harshly charged Washington for inciting “public discontent” and instrumentalizing “world events.” Thus, he has given the examples of the murder in 2018 of Yamal Khashogi inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in the city of Istanbul and the death of the journalist Shirín Abu Aklé, who died in May of a gunshot to the head while covering some clashes in Jenin (West Bank).

“The US terrorist government, after despairing of confronting the great nation of Iran in the military arenas and cruelly and inhumanely sanctioning (the country), has invested in recent years in a malicious network of complicit organizations to interconnect and influence sectors social,” he stressed.

Likewise, the main social networks and instant messaging applications – both Meta, owner of Instagram and WhatsApp, and Twitter – have violated, according to Tehran, all international laws during the Iranian disturbances by “deliberately” manipulating algorithms as a “strategic weapon”. “.

“Between September 20 and October 20 alone, more than 50,000 new Persian users with false identities were created on Twitter to work against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he stressed, adding “Twitter has gone to great lengths to help to magnify and highlight fake news.

Regarding Instagram, he has expressed that “by arousing the emotions of Iranian society, especially young people, Instagram tried to create despair, increase the level of violence and create a social division in different layers of society.”

Iranian Intelligence has also highlighted that there has been a “special emphasis on attributing every murder and incident to law enforcement and security forces”, while accusing the Western media of fueling the protests.
