Amid foreign media hype about the 30th anniversary of the US Embassy takeover in Tehran, a top official with Iran's armed forces warns the instigators of unrest not to fall for enemy-backed “psychological warfare”.
Deputy Head of Iran's armed forces headquarters Brigadier-General Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri called on the nation to exercise caution with regards to the likelihood of enemy mischief and plots on November 4.
"One of the methods of psychological warfare by establishments supported by the UK and the US in Iran is to encourage certain people to get involved in activities which is certain to end in failure,” Jazayeri said Monday.
The army official added that the Islamic Republic could not overlook attempts by elements seeking to overthrow the system, saying that "if compelled it can even mount a serious challenge against coup d'etat elements based in foreign countries."
The warning comes as earlier Iran's deputy police chief Ahmadreza Radan said security forces would confront any illegal gatherings on Nov 4.
"Those who intend to hold illegal gatherings as well as those who encourage people ... to stage gatherings will have to answer for their actions," Radan warned.
