Twelve conservative members of the Iranian parliament have signed a statement warning Iran’s culture and intelligence ministers that hundreds of spies have infiltrated Iranian media organizations. The statement comes just after comments by the supreme leader asking the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to protect the country from the “enemy’s influence.”
The Sept. 21 warning was addressed to Intelligence Minister Hojat al-Islam Seyed Mahmoud Alavi and Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali Jannati. It read that there is “a destructive media bond and movement of hundreds of people in the country connected to Western intelligence services that are linked to countries such as Norway, the Netherlands and England. The head of the link outside of the country are the leaders of the 2009 sedition and the fugitives and refugees who went to Western countries.”
