Tehran, YJC. Official says Iran’s cyber defense has closed the ways for ill-intenders to attack the country’s infrastructure.
The
Head of the Passive Defense Organization of Iran Brigadier General Jalali
speaking before the Friday sermon in Tehran provided comments on the 10th
anniversary of the Supreme Leader’s command to launch the Passive Defense
Organization and said "The fact that the Supreme Leader under such situations
reckoned it necessary to pay attention to passive defense means that we are in
a historic era. As he has said we are at a historic turn, in terms of time also
we are to see the nature of threats changing.”
He added
"The mission of passive defense is to control threats against society, people,
and managerial infrastructure via a set of provisions.”
The
Head of the Passive Defense Organization pointed out that Iran owns the
hypothesis for Islam and revolution in the world, therefore it must have
enemies and face threats, adding "The threats have shifted from military to
cyber grounds. In the present world threats are forming in a new mold, turning
from the military forms to economic, cyber, cultural, and political ones.”
Jalali
stated "In such circumstances what is necessary is that a system is formed in
the country which observes the enemy’s movements in this sphere and adopts
measures to stall them.”
He further
said that passive defense seeks to observe threats and find principles and
grounds on which it can control the them before they influence society.
"The
passive defense along with cyber defense has made the enemy unable to attack
the country’s infrastructure, including Fordo and the UCF. It is as a thorn in
the flesh of Israel and the US,” Jalali asserted.
