TEHRAN – Guardian Council secretary Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said on Monday that “subversive threats” to the Islamic Republic should be taken seriously, warning that such plots must be foiled.
However, Jannati said authorities should listen to the voice of the nation and not distance themselves from people, Mehr reported.
