Iran's President Blames Foreign Interference for Protests, Alleges Israeli and US Involvement.
President Masoud Pezeshkian has shifted focus away from Iran's struggling economy and suppression of dissent to its long-standing geopolitical adversaries, Israel and the United States. He claims that the same individuals who launched a surprise attack on the country during the recent 12-day war with Israel are now orchestrating the unrest across the nation.
Pezeshkian specifically pointed fingers at foreign intelligence agencies, stating that they have trained people both inside and outside the country to fuel the economic discussion. The president also accused those responsible of attacking a bazaar in Rasht city and setting mosques on fire.
Meanwhile, Israeli far-right Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has revealed that Israel's military presence is still active on Iranian soil, claiming that they have agents operating in the country. Although he stopped short of stating that Israel aims to bring down the regime, his comments suggest a clear intent to undermine Iran's stability.
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also acknowledged the involvement of Israeli agents in Iran, even wishing "Happy New Year" to Iranian protesters while addressing Mossad agents operating alongside them.
Israel's long history of covert operations within Iran suggests that its intelligence agency has been involved in various aspects of Iranian politics for years, including assassinations and sabotage of nuclear projects.
Experts say Iran's internal divisions have created an opportunity for foreign security services to infiltrate the country. Defence analyst Hamze Attar believes Israeli agents are likely active in Iran at this moment, working to escalate the protests and provide protesters with essential resources such as internet access.

and what's up with Pompeo wishing happy new year to protesters while talking to mossad agents?! that's some dodgy diplomacy 
... blaming all these countries and accusing them of training people inside iran to fuel economic discussions sounds like a classic scapegoat tactic 
... what's really going on here? are we just expected to believe that israel and the us have a secret team of agents running around, influencing protests from behind the scenes? 
it's almost laughable 
... meanwhile, the actual problems facing iran - like poverty and lack of access to basic services - get completely ignored 
... what do people think is really going on here? 
and what's with israel's military presence in iran? shouldn't that be a major concern for the international community? 
This latest development has me scratching my head - I mean, it's like we're witnessing a game of geopolitical whack-a-mole, where one adversary points fingers at another, creating an endless cycle of accusations and counter-accusations... 
. It's like they're tryin' to create a diversion, ya know? But what if it's not just a coincidence that Israeli agents are involved in Iranian politics? I mean, think about it, Israel's got a long history of covert ops, and now we're seein' 'em showin' their hand 
. And don't even get me started on Pompeo's "Happy New Year" to the protesters 
, that just seems like a bit too much coincidence. I'm thinkin' there's more to this story than meets the eye 
.
. Seriously though, who do we trust now? The President or our foreign enemies? 
. And now we have some Israeli minister claiming to have agents on Iranian soil? 
. This sounds like a classic case of "my enemy is your problem" 
, but seriously, can't they just own up to their own issues instead of trying to pin everything on the West? 
. It seems like President Pezeshkian is shifting focus away from fixing their economy and dealing with internal issues to blaming foreign interference 
. Maybe we should be focusing on supporting peaceful protests and helping to resolve internal conflicts rather than pointing fingers at external powers 
We're all tired of hearing about their "spies" and "attacks". It's time to talk about actual solutions. 
How about we work together to address the real issues facing our world, like climate change or poverty? Let's not get distracted by foreign interference and power struggles 
It's crazy that the president is blaming Israel and the US for the protests, it feels like a big deflect from his own government's mistakes. 
He's trying to shift attention away from the struggles in Iran's economy and towards foreign 'interference' 
. I'm not buying into this narrative. It's just more smoke and mirrors to distract from Iran's internal issues 
. And what about all the people being killed or arrested during these protests? Are they supposed to be pawns in some game? 
. I just hope Iran's security services can keep things under control and prevent any more violence.
