For the first time, the Khamenei regime has acknowledged violence and casualties amid massive protests that have continued in Iran for the last 12 days. State TV acknowledged that violent incidents took place during the demonstrations and there were reports of some casualties. However, the government has not considered this to be the anger of the domestic people.
What did the Khamenei government say?
State TV broke its silence for the first time in a program and said that there was violence in the demonstrations and people were injured. But all this has been done by ‘American-Israeli terrorist agents’. The government claims that these agents are spreading arson and violence so that the country becomes unstable.
Earlier the government was ignoring the protests or calling them a minor incident. Now by accepting the casualties the government has accepted the seriousness of the situation.
America gave strict warning to Iran
US President Donald Trump has given a strong warning to Iran. He said that if violence was done against peaceful protesters, America would take a ‘strong attack’ and help the protesters. After this threat, Iran has closed its airspace and put the military on high alert.
The exiled crown prince supported the demonstration
Iranian opposition leader and exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi supported the demonstration, saying, ‘Millions of Iranians demanded their freedom tonight. In response, the government in Iran has cut all lines of communication. Internet has been shut down. Landline has been disconnected. They can also try to jam the satellite signals.
