Tehran's officials' talk of more security comes at the time when another body named "Province Security" is already operating in the capital and 29 other provinces, Shahabnews added.

Tamadon did not go into the details of what specifically this new "council" will do. However, he did say that we should expect the security forces to perform their best. Rather, security in cultural and economic aspects is very important too.

"Peace and serenity are two very important components in a healthy society. We need a stress free environment to do our job," the governor said.

The timing for the new announcement is of considerable importance since it comes simultaneous with the six day "drills" already in progress by the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – in Tehran.
