The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, condemned what he said was the Iranian government's undue acceptance of Western influence.
The Fars news agency quoted Major General Mohammad Jaffari as saying on Tuesday yesterday,
"The military, systems and procedures governing the administrative system of the country are the same as before, (but it) has been slightly modified and unfortunately infected by Western doctrine, and a fundamental change must occur,"
"The main threat to the revolution is in the political arena and the Guards cannot remain silent in the face of that,"
His comments come as an interim deal was reached between key world power, including China and the US, and Iran over its nuclear programme.
