JEDDAH: Despite the fact that trials are still in progress, Iran’s involvement in the planning of terrorist activities during Haj by exploiting the first pillar of Islam has been shown by the confession of the owner of the Iranian Haj office.

On trial are 30 Saudis, one Afghan and one Iranian, all accused of being members of spy cells related to Iranian intelligence. Evidence of a number of Iranian plots to target the peace and security of the Kingdom, create confusion and spread chaos during Haj has also come to light.

According to a report in a local publication, one of the accused had sent an audio message to the Iranian leader Ali Khamenei asking for financial support to set up a special Shiite center in Makkah. The center would instigate sedition and sectarianism, and provide key information about the Haj season to Iranian intelligence. The center would be helped by Iranian intelligence working with the OIC.

This confession leaves no room for doubt that Iran will not stop its criminal attempts to exploit Haj by spreading discord and hostile slogans. These are designed to divide the Islamic community as has been shown in the trials about other meetings between members of the cells and Khamenei.

Iran will not hesitate to use any means to achieve its nefarious objectives during Haj by instigating sectarian strife. It has held secret meetings with its cohorts in Lebanon, particularly the terrorist organization Hezbollah, in order to plan activities for Haj even if the costs are innocent lives and loss of property.

Tehran has tried to use correspondents of the Al-Alam channel which has its headquarters in Tehran. These correspondents were used in some regions of the Kingdom as was confessed by one of the accused of the spy cell. The aim was to distort the image of the Kingdom, support protests, disrupt activities and cause chaos during Haj.

The channel supported the training of a number of cell members in the use of computers, cameras, encrypted reports, and sending photographic intelligence about gatherings of Haj pilgrims, military sites and official speeches. This has all been conclusively proven. The cell also showed Iran’s serious efforts to obtain confidential information on the Kingdom’s defense installations, which could affect national security, unity and the safety of Saudi Arabia and its armed forces.

A number of elements of the cell confirmed their meeting with Khamenei, in coordination with Iranian intelligence, and admitted to their efforts to commit destructive activities against the interests of the Kingdom, and against vital economic facilities in the country, disturb peace and security, harm social unity by spreading chaos and indulge in hostile activities against the Kingdom.

Most of these elements traveled to Iran and Lebanon, held meetings with elements of Iranian intelligence and received training in espionage. These meetings were held in a number of different locations.

Despite Iran’s concerted efforts to shake the peace and security of GCC states, and particularly the Kingdom, there has been coordination between the heads of intelligence and the Ministry of Interior which led to the successful arrest of these elements of the spy network.

The ministry announced that the arrests were made in coordinated security operations in four regions of the country: Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh and the Eastern Province.

The statement said that the arrested were in contact with Iranian intelligence and had collected information about vital installations in Saudi Arabia.

Iran shouldn't test our patience. We will burn Iran from inside out if it messes with our security. Two things we don't compromise on our faith (Makkah and Madinah) and our security.
