🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran Accuses US of Interference; Protests Turn Violent Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi alleges armed operatives infiltrated protests, firing on both security forces and civilians. He claims the goal was to provoke a high death toll, potentially triggering US intervention. Araghchi also cited a video purportedly showing an American officer assaulting and shooting an Iranian mother, further escalating tensions. Araghchi reiterated that the armed operatives targeted both security personnel and protesters to inflate the number of fatalities. He stated this was a deliberate attempt to create a pretext for US intervention. Araghchi now states the protests initially were calm, but later reignited with new individuals who turned them violent. He noted that violent protests are met with security forces in many countries. Araghchi further stated that protesters adopted violent tactics, including cutting the throats of security personnel and burning others alive, acts he likened to ISIS. He added that protesters targeted governmental institutions, police stations, residential homes, commercial shops, ambulances, public transportation, and mosques.
