Khamenei was target of protests: senior regime official

NCRI – A senior official of the Iranian regime grudgingly acknowledged on Tuesday that the target of Monday’s anti-regime protests was the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

According to the state-run Mehr news agency on Tuesday, Khamenei’s senior military advisor, Rahim Safavi, said, “The attack by enemies against [Khamenei] in all aspects of soft and hard power was not out of question.”

 

Safavi, a former commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), also warned regime agents that anyone with a “simple access to a computer” can have their minds changed and be “weakened,” referring to growing opposition to the regime.
