WANA (Nov 10) – Iran’s Intelligence Minister Seyyed Esmaeil Khatib announced on Monday that, alongside strengthening defensive measures and approving necessary regulations within the government, Iran has successfully carried out offensive operations against cross-border elements and centers that had threatened the country’s security.

 

Speaking during an open session of the Iranian Parliament dedicated to reviewing the first year of implementation of the Seventh Development Plan, Khatib said that the National Technology Security Headquarters has been established under the directive of the First Vice President and is actively pursuing its objectives.

 

He noted that the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of Communications, and the Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) have jointly taken coordinated steps to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity.

Khatib emphasized that, despite an increase in the scale of threats, “the level of the country’s cybersecurity has improved noticeably compared to previous years,” adding that support and reinforcement services have been provided to critical institutions and national infrastructures, resulting in greater overall security across the country.

 

Referring to the enemies’ attempts to create internal networks aimed at inciting civil disobedience, Khatib said, “These plots were thwarted through cooperation and coordination among national agencies, ensuring the preservation of stability and security within the country.” He also mentioned that actions had been taken regarding the transfer of documents related to the Israeli regime.

 

Meanwhile, Iran’s Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, who also spoke during the same parliamentary session, stated that the country’s defense production has improved both in quantity and quality compared to the period before the recent 12-day war.
