TEHRAN -- The Intelligence Ministry has announced the names of 60 institutions and foundations which are working as agents in the soft war against Iran.

The deputy intelligence minister has urged Iranian citizens to avoid any unusual relations with these organizations and with foreign embassies and foreign nationals.
He stated that it is illegal to sign contracts with these organizations and it is also against the law for groupings and political parties to receive financial assistance from foreign countries.
The Soros Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the National Democratic Institute (NDI), the East European Democratic Centre (EEDC), Wilton Park, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the United States’ National Defense University are some of the institutions and foundations that are working as agents in the soft war against Iran
