Pars Today – According to obtained evidence, the role of the United States and Israel in Iran's recent terrorist acts has been prominent.

Reports indicate that media propaganda and the interference of adversarial currents caused the recent economic protests in Iran, which were rooted in the genuine demands of the people, to veer toward chaos and insecurity. Based on media evidence, the role of the United States and Israel in Iran's recent terrorist acts has been prominent. According to ParsToday, citing Mehr News Agency, the recent protests inside the country emerged due to economic pressures resulting from sanctions. However, the intervention and instigation by opposing currents caused the course of these protests to change and turn into riots.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, during a meeting with various segments of the public on Eid al-Mab'ath, emphasized that "the recent sedition was an American-made sedition" and stated that the U.S. President is guilty for the casualties, damages, and slanders inflicted upon the Iranian nation.

Pointing out that Western interventions in past seditions were mostly limited to secondary media and political elements, the Leader added: "In this sedition, the U.S. President personally and directly stepped in, made statements, issued threats, and by openly encouraging the seditionists, sent them a message of military support."

Media evidence regarding the active role of the United States and Israel in the recent unrest, citing the positions of Western political figures and analysts, is as follows:

Laurence Wilkerson, Chief of Staff to the former U.S. Secretary of State:

"What they've been doing, Mossad principally, CIA and MI6, all backed by Donald Trump, what they've been doing in Iran is acting as if they were Iranian citizens and killing Iranians(during the gatherings)."

Jeffrey Sachs, renowned professor at Columbia University:

"The protests in Iran are a classic case of a specific type of warfare that the CIA and Mossad have repeatedly employed for decades. Therefore, the playbook of the U.S. and Israel is well understood."

Jeffrey Sachs, renowned professor at Columbia University

Israeli Newspaper The Jerusalem Post:

"Mossad agents are present in the Iran protests."

Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State:

"Happy New Year to all Iranians in the streets. And also to every Mossad agent walking beside them."

Tamir Morag, Anchor of Israel's Channel 14 TV:

"Foreign elements are arming protesters in Iran with live weapons."

Larry Johnson, former CIA officer:

"The chaos in Iran was not an organic uprising, but a calculated CIA-Mossad intelligence operation."

Douglas Macgregor, retired U.S. Army colonel:

"The protests in Iran started over real economic pain. Then it turned into a CIA -Mossad-MI6 operation- money, Starlink, provocation, even pushing crowds, to fire on police to escalate the violence. it all played out and it failed."

Douglas Macgregor, retired U.S. Army colonel

John Mearsheimer, renowned international relations scholar:

"What is happening in Iran is straight out of the U.S.-Israeli regime change playbook and involves several elements. The first step is that we sanction a country, cripple its economy, and punish its people. The second step is that, at some point, we decide to instigate and fuel widespread protests. The third step in this process is waging a large-scale disinformation campaign, aiming to convince everyone in the West that these protests emerged organically from within. The fourth step is the involvement of the U.S. military, and possibly the Israeli military, in striking critical infrastructure."

John Mearsheimer, renowned international relations scholar

John Kiriakou, former CIA officer:

"There's confirmation from the Israelis that these are Mossad agitators. They're bragging about it in Israeli papers."

John Kiriakou, former CIA officer

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić:

"Mossad and the CIA are involved in the protests in Iran, trying to replicate the scenario of the 1953 Western coup. I urge people to read about 'Operation Ajax' and 'All the Shah's Men' to see how Mossad and the CIA are once again using the same formula."

Alastair Crooke, former British diplomat:

"A small, highly violent group of rioters in Iran had been trained by foreign NGOs and other Western intelligence agencies. These organizations engineered the chaos in Iran to pave the way for U.S.-Israeli intervention."
