[Iran Press TV Latest] Ahead of a vote of confidence on the Iranian president's new cabinet, his proposed new intelligence minister vows to use cutting-edge technological discoveries to confront the enemy.
Outlining his planned strategies for the ministry, Moslehi said he would adopt an "aggressive approach" in countering the enemy's "software and hardware attacks" and promote the intelligence capacity of the ministry to confront their "soft war." As the enemy makes use of state-of-the-art methods in its war against the Islamic Republic "we [in the new ministry] will use updated information and cutting-edge technology to protect the Revolution and the system," Moslehi explained. "Preventative measures should be one of the key methods in countering threats," Moslehi, who previously held the post of a representative of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, added. As different cabinet nominees received various reviews from lawmakers during Monday's session, Jamshid Ansari, a deputy from the minority bloc criticized the president's pick, saying that the Intelligence Ministry should "not be affiliated to one branch of power." "Mr. Moslehi does not have the minimum required experience for intelligence work and therefore his presence in this critical post would not be productive," Ansari told the Parliament. Majlis is scheduled to give its vote of confidence to President Ahmadinejad's 21-member cabinet on Wednesday. | |
