In this world, there is always the danger of hypocrisy and deviation. The danger of &#8216;the Hypocrisy&#8217; in the Islamic system is greater than the danger of infidels and polytheists. A hypocrite is a Muslim on the outside and an infidel on the inside. His appearance is soft and his inside is poisonous and dangerous. That is why God Almighty has repeatedly exposed them to the pious in the verses of the Qur&#8217;an and reveals their attributes and secrets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Former Intelligence Minister and Firday prayer leader of Arak Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi said on March 3: &#8220;We appreciate the intelligence agencies. Please advance your attentiveness to 100%. Increase your IQ to 100%. Be vigilant of terrorist networks, sedition networks, infiltration networks, and networks to obtain intelligence from inside the country, whether non-explosive or explosive, assassination, whatever&#8230; Increase your IQ to 100%, this is mandatory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Attempting to link the actions of the rebellious youth to foreign powers, Nasir Hosseini, the Friday leader of Yasuj said in his sermon on March 3: &#8220;Every day, several terrorist and conspiratorial teams are dispatched from foreign countries. They cross our borders. They come to the country. They want to carry out terrorist attacks, to target our military centers and our security centers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Dear people, if you see particular movements that hint at security problems, it is possible that some enemies, seditionists, mercenaries, or hypocrites, are planning a conspiracy. You should definitely report to the information and security centers and say that we have seen suspicious movements and report the location,&#8221; Hosseini begged.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UPDATE: 9:30 AM CET<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Poisoning of Female Students in Tehran and Other Cities Continue Spreading<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-303172 size-medium\" title=\"POISONING OF STUDENTS iran en\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"POISONING OF STUDENTS iran en\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en-696x418.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/POISONING-OF-STUDENTS-iran-en.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On Saturday, March 4, angry families of poisoned students protested in various areas of Tehran, including in front of the Ministry of Education and education departments in districts 1, 2, 5, and 8, as well as outside some schools, including Bahar-e Azadi school.
