Why it matters:
The evidence, Iranian authorities say, establishes foreign-backed intervention as the driver of recent violence, reinforcing Tehran’s position that Washington and Tel Aviv moved from political and media pressure to coordinated security operations after failing to destabilize the country.
What he’s saying:
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that in earlier episodes of unrest, Western interference was largely limited to media networks and second-tier political figures, but the recent events marked a clear escalation.
He said the U.S. president personally intervened, issuing statements and threats and openly encouraging rioters to proceed without fear while promising military support.
Ayatollah Khamenei condemned U.S. remarks that described vandals and killers as “the Iranian nation,” calling them a major insult to the Iranian people. He said the U.S. president directly encouraged the rioters and that the United States and the Israeli regime provided concrete assistance behind the scenes, holding Washington responsible for the casualties and damages.
What they’re saying:
Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh said that Iran has verified and documented intelligence proving that the United States, the Israeli regime, and some of their allied countries directed the unrest.
Speaking to foreign military attachés in Tehran, he said coordination centers were set up to bring together separatist and terrorist groups to map out scenarios for Iran’s future, including plans for regions to draft separate constitutions.
He added that arms smuggling, along with financial and logistical support, was carried out, stressing that Iran has full intelligence documentation of these actions.
Key points:
- Newly released visual evidence confirms the role of Mossad-linked terrorist elements in acts of sabotage during the unrest.
- Iranian officials say the U.S. and Israel directly supported armed groups after political and media efforts failed.
- The Leader of the Islamic Revolution holds the U.S. president responsible for encouraging violence and its consequences.
- Iran says foreign-backed coordination included weapons smuggling and organized logistical and financial support.
Go deeper:
Iranian authorities say the unrest is part of a sustained campaign by the United States and Israel to undermine the Islamic Republic after repeated strategic failures, including sanctions pressure and information warfare.
Tehran says it is continuing security, political, and legal measures to counter foreign interference, while the Foreign Ministry has placed formal legal action over U.S. violations of international law high on its agenda.
