June 20 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Iranian authorities have accused the intelligence services of nearly 20 countries on Monday of encouraging social protests against the Government after the death of the young Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini.

The head of the intelligence section of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Mohamed Kazemi, has stated that, according to an investigation, diplomats from the French Embassy in Tehran have collected and exchanged information about the riots with other European countries.

Kazemi has also pointed to an alleged attempt by Israel to encourage Washington and other European Union states to create a fund to financially support the protesters. Meanwhile, the CIA would have tried to create digital platforms for the dissemination of news related to the protests abroad, reports the Mehr news agency.

The Iranian intelligence chief has also mentioned attempts to form a joint team between the CIA, the Israeli Mossad and the British M16 for a program to “kill scientists” in the nuclear, space and military fields.

According to an investigation, General Kazemi has also revealed that 28 European countries met at the embassy of a European country to discuss the closure of Iran’s embassy in Europe.

The countries indicated are the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, France, Germany, Canada, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Albania, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Kosovo, Norway, Bahrain and New Zealand.

Along the same lines, the Iranian Ministry of Information has indicated that dozens of intelligence services act against Iran, aiming at national security, for which reason it has advocated counteracting foreign influence, reports the IRNA news agency.

“Enemies and foreigners have used all their efforts to penetrate the fabric of our system in order to achieve their goals. Today, we are witnessing the activation of dozens of intelligence services against Iran by enemies of the country and national security “said the head of the portfolio Seyed Ismail Khatib.

The Iranian authorities have exempted the security forces from any blame for Amini’s death, although they have acknowledged certain excesses during the repression of the protests, which have resulted in nearly 500 deaths, according to balances provided by various non-governmental organizations. .
