Speaking in a meeting with provincial officials in Ardebil province on Tuesday, the Iranian intelligence minister pointed to the country’s sensitive situation, and said, “The enemy had masterminded a new plot to inspire duality and differences among Iran’s high-ranking officials which was foiled due to the sagacious leadership of the Supreme Leader.”
Alavi pointed to the enemies’ plots in the region and the neighboring countries, and said, “Enemies have sought to sow discord between the Shiite and Sunni Muslims, but they have failed due to the presence of a wise and vigilant leader like Ayatollah Khamenei.”
Earlier this month, commander of Iran's Basij (volunteer) Force Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi rapped enemies’ attempts to sow discord among Muslims, and called on Shiites and Sunnis to keep vigilant and united.
“Destroying unity and solidarity (among Muslims) is one of the schemes of the enemies and they use special tricks to this end,” Naqdi warned.
He called on the Shiite and Sunni Muslims to stand united and keep vigilant against the plots hatched by the enemies.
Warning that the enemies seek to display a wrong face of Islam to the world, Naqdi said, “Muslims should be present on all scenes and take action against such plots with awareness and vigilantly.”
In relevant remarks in December, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian warned of enemies’ anti-Islam plots, and called for increased unity among Muslims.
Amir Abdollahian made the remark addressing Ulema and Islamic figures in Conakry, Guinea.
Some are trying to present a wrong picture of Islam, he said, adding the Islamic states should foil these anti-Islam plots.
