MADRID, June 20 (EUROPA PRESS) –

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

The head of the intelligence section of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Mohamed Kazemi, stated that according to investigations, diplomats from the French Embassy in Tehran had collected and exchanged information about the riots with other European countries.

Kazemi also pointed to Israel’s alleged attempts to encourage Washington and other EU countries to create a fund to support the protesters financially. Meanwhile, the CIA will try to create a digital platform for dissemination of news related to protests abroad, the Mehr news agency reports.

The Iranian intelligence chief also mentioned attempts to form a joint team between the CIA, Israel’s Mossad and Britain’s M16 for “killing scientists” programs in the nuclear, space and military fields.

According to the investigation, General Kazemi also revealed that 28 European countries met at European embassies to discuss closing Iran’s embassies in Europe.

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

Accordingly, Iran’s Ministry of Information has indicated that dozens of intelligence agencies act against Iran, aiming for national security, therefore it advocates against foreign influence, reports the IRNA news agency.

“The enemy and foreigners have used all their efforts to penetrate the fabric of our system to achieve their goals. Today, we witnessed the activation of dozens of intelligence agencies against Iran by enemies of the state and national security,” said portfolio head Seyed Ismail Khatib.

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