Estimates indicate that the number of rioters (or rather, the agents of Israel) across the country does not exceed a few thousand. This fact is evident without the need for statistical analysis. For argument&#8217;s sake, if we consider the number of rioters to be 10,000 or even 20,000, and compare this with Iran&#8217;s 85 million population, what do we see? It resembles the mosquito perched on a sturdy tree, declaring, &#8220;Hold firm, for I intend to take off!&#8221; Absurd, isn\u2019t it? Indeed, it is. Now, compare this small group with the presence of one and a half million youth at this year&#8217;s I&#8217;tikaf ceremonies. This figure of 1.5 million participants in I&#8217;tikaf comes while many other young people were unable to attend due to the mosques reaching full capacity.2. The pressing question arises: Are the vast masses of people not facing rampant inflation and economic hardship? Are they not suffering from the strain of living conditions? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is undoubtedly affirmative. The economic pressure on the nation, compounded by the incompetence of certain government officials in managing the country\u2019s economic affairs, cannot be denied. Last month, the head of the public communications center of the presidential office resigned, stating that the people&#8217;s grievances include issues like skyrocketing electricity prices, rampant inflation, retirees&#8217; demands, protests against increasing immodesty, neglect of economic and livelihood problems, criticism of the income distribution for subsidies, the devaluation of the national currency, and disregard for retirees&#8217; conditions. Yet, sadly, we witnessed that issues like filtering and pop music consumed most of the time and attention of some government advisors. Fortunately, the esteemed President has initiated a resolution that, with the cooperation of other centers and officials in different branches, could yield positive results.3. What is noteworthy in the recent unrest is that the people&#8217;s protests against rampant inflation, economic difficulties, and the authorities\u2019 negligence are indeed their legitimate rights. However, the rioters have clearly demonstrated through their actions and slogans that they have no concern for the people&#8217;s livelihoods. Their chants are precisely the unfulfilled desires and demands of the savage Israeli regime from the 12-day war. The slogan &#8220;Neither Gaza nor Lebanon&#8221; was dictated by the Persian-language website of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. What direction does the slogan &#8220;Put down the missile, think of bread and air&#8221; take? It calls for abandoning missiles, which is exactly what the enemy has repeatedly demanded, especially after the 12-day war, which devastated the Israeli regime and the United States, bringing two nuclear powers equipped with the most modern weapons to their knees. Furthermore, the assaults on Basij centers, the disgraceful insults against the army and police, the burning of the Quran, attacks on mosques, and setting ablaze an ambulance carrying a patient\u2014are these not precisely the desires of the Israeli regime? Which of these slogans pertains to the people&#8217;s livelihoods?4. Previously, we have presented dozens of documents revealing the blatant support of the Israeli regime for the rioters, and here we will mention just two more examples that emerged in the child-killing regime&#8217;s media just two days ago. <\/p>\n<p>* &#8220;Sima Shine,&#8221; the head of the Iran section at the Israeli Security Studies Institute, has expressed concern over the overt support of Mossad and the CIA for the rioters, warning the regime&#8217;s officials: &#8220;Our clear support for the rebels in Iran and the emphasis that Mossad and the CIA are with them exposes and reveals our plans!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>* The Persian-language television network &#8220;Iran International,&#8221; which was revealed to be based in Tel Aviv during the Gaza war, questioned the Israeli officials in disbelief: Why have they spoken words that should not have been said and confessed to supporting the rioters, thus exposing the Mossad&#8217;s involvement and connections to the unrest in Iran?5. Despite this overwhelming and undeniable evidence showing that the rioters possess a fundamentally different and even contradictory identity compared to the protesters, a mysterious faction within the country insists on portraying the rioters and the agents of Israel as aligned with the people and the protesting sectors. This aligns precisely with the long-stated desires of the United States and the Israeli regime, which has been thwarted by the remarkable vigilance of the people and the sectors that have been left behind. Is this faction&#8217;s alignment with what the Israeli regime seeks merely coincidental and a result of their ineptitude? This is a matter that requires discovery, and it is primarily the responsibility of the security and intelligence agencies of the system.6. The available evidence and documents leave no doubt that the Israeli regime is utilizing and organizing its overt and covert agents to take revenge on Islamic Iran and the exemplary unity of its people, which led to the defeat in the 12-day war. We must commend the astuteness and wisdom of our noble people, who quickly discerned the true identity of the Israeli agents, thwarting this shared plot of the Israeli regime and the United States just as they have with previous conspiracies.7. Yesterday the Supreme Leader met with a large gathering of people in Qom where he decoded the documented objectives of the enemy in the recent turmoil and emphasized their failure. He addressed the youth saying: &#8220;Dear youth maintain your faith your political thoughts your presence your readiness and your seriousness in advancing the country. Preserve unity. A united nation can overcome any enemy.&#8221; The enemies have repeatedly tested this; they have seen that there is no bluffing in this region. The sword of Ali&#8217;s allies remains unsheathed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent revelations underscore the undeniable support of the Israeli regime for unrest in Iran.
