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.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
