IRGC Thanks Iranian People, Security Forces for Countering New Sedition
TEHRAN (Basirat) :The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) expressed gratitude to the Iranian people as well as the country’s security forces for foiling the enemies’ attempts to incite sedition in the Islamic Republic.
In a statement released on Sunday, the IRGC praised the people, the Law
Enforcement Force, the Basij (mobilization) Force and the intelligence forces of
the country for preventing a new sedition and foiling the plots hatched against
the Islamic Republic by "the US, Britain, the Zionist regime (of Israel), Al
Saud, MKO terrorists and monarchists”.
The IRGC further described recent demonstrations held to condemn riots in the
country as "a great epic” and said it proved that the grandeur of the Iranian
nation is eternal.
In late December, peaceful protests over economic problems broke out in a number
of Iranian cities, but the gatherings turned violent when groups of
participants, some of them armed, vandalized public property and launched
attacks on police stations and government buildings.
Security forces say many rioters arrested in the recent unrest have been trained
by the MKO terrorists or had links with the Takfiri terrorist groups.
Following the unrest, people held several demonstrations across the country to
condemn the violent riots and acts of vandalism, and voice support for the
Islamic Republic’s Establishment.
Iranian officials maintain that people have the right to stage protests to
express their opinions as long as rallies comply with the legal conditions.
