'Iran intelligence ministry, IRGC fighting enemies 24/7'
Tehran (KNA) - The chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the force's intelligence arm and the country's Intelligence Ministry are engaged in a "round-the-clock war" against enemies.
Major General Hossein Salami said during a meeting with Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi at the IRGC Joint Staff Headquarters in Tehran that Iran's intelligence community is "usually moving ahead of the enemy."
"Today, we are engaged in a serious, global round-the-clock intelligence war with enemies," Salami said Sunday.
He described the IRGC Intelligence and the Intelligence Ministry as " the two sharp eyes" of the Islamic Revolution which "complement each other on the battlefield."
Salami highlighted the importance of Iran's intelligence work, saying, "Today, the intelligence factor contributes to the country's prestige and if the enemy faces our strong will, it will back down."
He called for awareness in the face of enemy plots but made it clear that none of the adversaries are to be overestimated just on the basis of their psychological warfare and media propaganda.
"Today, our enemies appear scary and buff but deep inside they suffer from severe osteoporosis," he added.
