Tehran, September 22 (KCNA) -- Seyed Ali Khamenei, leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, in a conversation on Sept. 20 condemned the West for its intrigues against those countries advocating independence.

One of the methods employed by the West to bar those countries from developing is to create social, moral and mental instability, he said.

To this end, the West is breeding secret plots to foster drug abuses and corruption and weaken moral foundation, he noted, calling upon Iran's police to check and frustrate in advance the enemy's plots with heightened vigilance.
