Top Iranian official warns of enemy attempts to sow internal rifts amid war
The chief of staff to Iran’s president warned that the country must prioritize internal unity, saying the threat facing Iran extends beyond military confrontation to what he described as a broader enemy campaign aimed at influencing public opinion and creating divisions within society.
“We must be concerned about the unity of society,” Mohsen Haji-Mirzaei told the state TV, adding that Iran is not only confronting the enemy’s military machine but also a wider front seeking to shape narratives and deepen internal rifts.
He said the president has consistently emphasized the need to safeguard cohesion despite differing views within the country, noting that decision-making authority ultimately rests with the established leadership structure.
The official also accused adversaries of attempting to widen social divides, while stressing that Iran’s Supreme Leader, in coordination with the Supreme National Security Council, would take what he called the necessary decisions.
