Iran's intelligence minister warned Islamic nations Saturday over threats to their security, which he said were being orchestrated by Israel and the United States. "Today, the security of Islamic countries in the region is being threatened by a blind terrorism scourge, Israel and America," said Ali Younessi while hosting Muslim diplomats, based in Tehran, at a banquet to break their fast.
"The diplomatic and security apparatus of the Muslim countries now need cooperation more than any time," he said, according to IRNA. "We have either stemmed or controlled some dangerous roots which were being tendered by America and certain Western countries," he noted. "The threat of religious and sectarian wars is not less than
terrorism and we all know well that the origin of these conspiracies lie with the intelligence services of America, Britain and Israel.
"The Information Ministry has identified many agents so far and aborted their plots," he disclosed.
Late in August, the Iranian minister said his country's intelligence services arrested dozens for spying on the country's nuclear program. Younessi stressed the Intelligence Ministry was having all the enemies of the Islamic Republic under surveillance. "We easily monitor our enemies and arrest them whenever needed," he stated.
