TEHRAN, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)
had set up a new unit to counter organized crimes on websites, the official IRNA
news agency reported on Tuesday.
The new IRGC unit which has been named "anti-cyber system" would engaged in
campaigns against organized crimes, espionage, economic and social corruption,
money laundering and cultural inroad through the internet, IRNA cited an
announcement the source of which was not specified.
The IRGC's newly setup unit will closely cooperate with the country's
judicial system to protect and safeguard "the invaluable achievements of the
Islamic Revolution," the report said.
Earlier, IRGC had warned against the destabilizers of public security and
law.
A statement released by IRGC last week said that in the current situation
and following the recent clashes, the strategy of IRGC and security forces was
to firmly confront the destabilizers of public security and law and the threats
against the revolution.
The IRGC statement ordered demonstrators to "end the sabotage and rioting
activities," warning Western countries not to support the rioters.
Turbulence overshadowed Tehran following the disputed presidential election
on June 12.
On June 13, Iran's Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli announced incumbent
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won 62.63 percent of the total ballots on June 12,
while his main rival Mir-Hossein Mousavigot 33.75 percent.
After the official declaration, Mousavi protested "strongly" the "obvious
violations" in Iran's presidential election. He also appealed to the Guardian
Council for the cancellation of the election results.
On Monday, an announcement of the Guardian Council, Iran's top legislative
body, confirmed Ahmadinejad's re-election in a disputed June 12 presidential
poll.
