Iran says many French intelligence agents arrested during protests

 


The Interior Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmad Vahidi, said that many French intelligence agents were arrested during protests in the country.

Vahidi told state TV on Wednesday, “People of other nationalities were arrested during the protests, some of whom played a big role. There were elements from the French intelligence agency and they will be dealt with by law.”

Last week, France’s Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said that seven French nationals were detained in the Islamic Republic.

Iranian authorities have repeatedly accused foreign enemies, especially the United States of fomenting unrest in the Islamic Republic after the death of a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, in police custody.

Amini was arrested by the Iranian morality police in Tehran on September 13 for allegedly flouting the Islamic Republic's strict dress code for women. They took her to the detention centre. Amini collapsed on the ground at the centre. Later on, she was taken to the Kasra hospital for treatment. Three days later, she died at the hospital due to the severity of the injuries she had sustained. Her funeral ceremony took place on September 17 in her hometown in Saqqez. Subsequently, huge protests erupted in the country. Demonstrators during a protest in Tehran for Amini turned violent, with protesters burning vehicles of the security forces. Iranian authorities also shot at protesters.

The ongoing protests have entered the eighth week. Iran has also issued the first death sentence to a protester amid anti-government protests.

According to the UN, more than 14,000 people have been arrested in the Islamic Republic during protests.

Recently, Iran’s Revolutionary Court sentenced a protester to death and gave jail terms to five other protesters. Mizan, a news website linked to Iran’s judiciary, said that the protesters tried to set fire to government buildings.

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
