IRGC Commander Warns against Enemy’s Infiltration


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari urged vigilance against the enemy’s cultural inroads into the country.

“We should be wary of the enemy’s intellectual, cultural, and political infiltration,” General Jafari said Wednesday.

The enemy is trying to say Iran’s revolution is over and the Iranian nation should not be worried about the revolution’s objectives, he stated.

The remarks came as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has on various occasions called for wise and calculated plans to tackle the enemy’s cultural onslaught.

In similar remarks earlier in the day, Imam Khamenei cautioned against enemies’ cultural and political plots against Iran, including ploys aimed at impairing the religious beliefs and absorbing the talented young generation.

“Weakening the (Iranian people’s) religious and political beliefs and attempts to absorb active and influential young people at different levels are among the plans of the enemy’s political and cultural army,” the Leader said in a meeting with members of a committee tasked with holding a congress to commemorate the country's martyrs.
