Update on the Iran Anti-Riot Drills

Earlier we reported on the massive anti-riot drills that were conducted in Iran last week.

More than 30,000 police agents and members of the security forces were expected to take part in a series of anti-riot drills in the Iranian capital, Tehran, from Monday. During the drills, eight roads will be closed to traffic to facilitate the movement of the security forces over the next week.

The drills' aim was for the country to "be ready to confront the psychological aggression of the enemy," said recently ousted Interior Minister Ali Kordan.

Kordan also spoke about the "cultural aggression" of some religious minorities such as the Bahai and the Wahabis. He also said that ethnic minorities and those who propose a secular democracy instead of an Islamic democracy are a "danger to the Islamic Republic."

We now have video of the "festivities".
