The prospect of direct foreign intervention in support of Iran’s protesters appears to be growing daily, with US President Donald Trump repeatedly signalling a readiness to attack.
In Israel, far-right Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu told Army Radio last week, “When we attacked in Iran during ‘Rising Lion’ [Israel’s June attack on Iran], we were on its soil and knew how to lay the groundwork for a strike. I can assure you that we have some of our people operating there right now,” stopping short of claiming that Israeli agents were seeking regime change.
Writing on social media earlier this month, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is also a former director of the CIA, did acknowledge the presence of Israeli agents operating on the ground in Iran, wishing “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them.”
I’m 100% certain this is true but it doesn’t mean the protests aren’t justified.
Iran basically spent it’s time stacking large quantities of wood while soaking it in gasoline and now they cry foul someone tossed a match in it.
The best way to avoid foreign interference at a protest level is by not treating your citizens like shit.
May I humbly give another prospective on the matter? Iran is among the most sanctioned countries in the world. link
Being a victim of imperialism doesn’t mean getting a free pass to be a dick. I’ll need a lot more to actually side with Iran’s government, if that’s what you mean.
