Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says the enemy's infiltration is among major threats to Iran.

The Leader made the comment in a meeting with commanders and officials of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC] in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Wednesday.

"Economic and security infiltration is not as important as intellectual, cultural and political infiltration," Imam Khamenei said.

Of course, Imam Khamenei said, different institutions, namely the IRGC, will firmly stand up to security infiltration, urging authorities to remain on the watch for economic infiltration as well.

For cultural infiltration, said the Leader, the enemy seeks to distort and undermine beliefs which underpin society.

In order to achieve political infiltration, Imam Khamenei pinpointed, the enemy tries to sneak into decision-making centers.

"When a country is affected by such political infiltration, the direction in which that country moves will be according to the will of hegemonic powers," the Leader noted.

Imam Khamenei urged the nation and authorities to remain vigilant in the face of enemy schemes. "If we are watchful, the enemy will be disappointed."

He then called for efforts to further reinforce the foundation of the Islamic Revolution and of a revolutionary way of though, saying, "This is the fundamental responsibility of the IRGC's elite and all revolutionary elite in the country."
