Iran's Intelligence Minister Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeii on Wednesday slashed the active role of a number of western countries, specially Britain, in stirring Iran's post-election unrests.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting here in Tehran today, Ejeii reminded the western countries' activities to provoke unrest in Iran before and after the June 12 presidential election, and said, "Britain was among the countries which, in violation of diplomatic criteria, sought to aggravate the problem through massive propaganda and other measures."
"The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) Persian also played an eye-catching role (in this regard). There were also a number of people with British passports who also played roles in the unrests," the minister went on saying.
In an answer to a question about recent bombing plots in Iran, Ejeii noted, "As I have said before, Zionists' affiliated groups as well as others had planned to do a series of bombings prior to the election but they were arrested in two or three stages in Ordibehesht (April 21-May 21) and early Khordad (May 22-June 7)."
He further warned that enemies launched a plan for the soft overthrow of the Islamic Republic more than 2 years ago.
