Abbas Araqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, accused the Israeli government of trying to drag the United States into war and directly intervene in the national protests of the Iranian people by sharing an image of a post by Tamir Morg, a journalist from Israel's Channel 14, on the social media platform X. In response to the Israeli journalist's claim that 'foreign elements have armed Iranian protesters with military weapons,' Araqchi wrote that Israel this time is 'loudly shouting the hidden part of the story.'

The Foreign Minister emphasized that hundreds have been killed during the protests, stating: 'Israel openly expresses its satisfaction with arming individuals and creating chaos in the streets.' He addressed Donald Trump, the President of the United States, saying: 'If he seeks to stop the killings, he must know where the root of this violence lies.'

These remarks come as images, which are difficult to transmit abroad due to internet outages, clearly show the armed crackdown by suppressors against protesters who often are merely chanting slogans.
