Iran Guards warn online media
The elite force, set up in the wake of the 1979 revolution to defend the Islamic republic from “internal and external” threats, said it had identifed websites run by companies it charged were backed by the US and British secret services.
“We warn those who propagate riots and spread rumours that our legal action against them will cost them dearly, especially since some of the youth of this land were killed by the thugs’ action, so we urge them to delete such material from their sites,” a statement said.
“It shows the animosity of the Western media towards the Iranian people,” it added.
The Revolutionary Guards said the sites had been “identified” and were “financially and technically sponsored by Canadian and American firms which are backed by the US and British intelligence services”.
