TEHRAN: Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib warned the British government that it will have to pay the price for its measures aimed at creating insecurity in Iran.
In a recent interview with Khamenei.ir, the minister of intelligence stated, “England will pay for the measures it has taken to make Iran insecure and Iran International network is recognized by Iran as a terrorist organization and its operatives and affiliates will be pursued.”
Without a doubt, the greatest “operation to influence” a country that was taken to destabilize that country and create unrest in it through hybrid warfare, was the one that took place at the time of the unrest and in the period following the unrest carried out by the United States, England, the Zionist regime, and Saudi Arabia, he added.
“In its implementation, the Zionist regime’s role was more obvious. In terms of propaganda, England’s role was clearer. In the expenditures that were made, Saudi Arabia’s role was evident. All of the financial support in the fields of propaganda, preparations, renting equipment for filming, providing facilities for journalists, and the distribution of food, etc. for that degenerate show in Berlin was provided by Saudi Arabia,” Khatib said.
“Unlike England, we will never support acts of terrorism and creation of insecurity in other countries. However, we 
also have no obligation to prevent insecurity in those countries either. Therefore, England will pay for the measures it has taken to try to make Iran insecure,” the intelligence minister warned.
“The Iran International network is recognized by Iran’s security agency as a terrorist organization and its operatives will be pursued by the Ministry of Intelligence. And from here on, any kind of connection with this terrorist organization will be considered to be tantamount to entering the field of terrorism and a threat to national security,” he cautioned.
Meanwhile, disclosing the plots hatched by enemies to turn the recent riots in Iran into ethnic divisions, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi said a number of the rioters have received training in eight different hostile countries.
In a meeting with a group of clerics in Iran’s predominantly Sunni province of Golestan on Tuesday, Vahidi said the people that took part in the recent riots in Iran fall into several categories, some of whom had received training in eight countries that are opposed to the Islamic Republic.
He said while a small population of young people took part in the riots under the influence of the virtual space and transient emotions, the enemy had plans to turn the riots into ethnic violence to achieve its sinister objectives.
The enemy did its utmost as all hostile groups from the MKO terrorists to the Komala members participated in the riots, Vahidi added.
The enemy has conceded that its policy of maximum pressure on Iran has ended in failure, the minister stated.
In remarks on November 2, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei pointed to the obvious role of the enemies in the riots that have been taking place in the country during the past few weeks, saying, “The events that took place these past few weeks were not merely street riots. They were detailed plots. The enemy initiated hybrid warfare. The enemy, namely the United States, the Zionist regime, some insidious and malicious European powers, and some groups, came to the scene with all of their capabilities.”
