The protests against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran have taken a violent form. After which the situation there remains worrying. National President of All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi has reacted to the situation in Iran. He held America and Israel responsible for these demonstrations.

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi said that the condition of Iran has deteriorated a lot and violent demonstrations are taking place, America and Israel are behind these violent demonstrations. They want to overthrow the government there. They want Maulana Khamenei’s power to end and America’s dominance there or Gaza Shah Pahlavi’s grandson should be installed. But, this is not possible.

America and Israel held responsible

Razvi said that America is completely bent on bullying and especially wants to take control of the Muslim world. Just as Israel killed people in Gaza, in the same way in Iran too there is a coup, killing people and attacks, all these things are involved.

On the protests taking place in Iran, Rizvi said that the way people have protested against inflation and unemployment there, it is every person’s right to do so, but violent protests there or violence in a peaceful protest are dangerous. I believe that Israel and America have a hand in all the violence that took place behind this protest.

America wants to capture Iran

America continued to incite people to demonstrate there. The Muslims of India want that there should be peace and tranquility in the whole world and our government also wants this. But, Iran will also have to think that the Islamic Revolution which came to Iran 50 years ago through Maulana Ayatollah Khomeini, should have brought democracy to that regime. Dictatorship should not be brought.

Due to lack of democracy there, anger has increased among the people and this is the reason why people have taken to the streets today. We appeal for peace in the world and for the President of America to come to his senses. He said that America has been engaged in weakening the economic condition of Iran for many years. America wants to capture Iran.

US President Donald Trump has given a strict warning amid the ongoing massive protests in Iran. He has said that if the Iranian government kills peaceful protesters, America will not remain silent.

Trump’s statement: America ‘fully prepared’
Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, ‘We are fully prepared and ready to take action.’ He clearly said that if peaceful protesters were killed in Iran, America would come to their rescue.

The movement intensified due to the students’ landing
On Tuesday (December 30, 2025), the agitation became more violent after students from at least 10 universities joined the demonstration. Many markets have been closed and the government declared a holiday citing cold, bringing a large part of the country to a standstill.

Protest spread in many provinces
According to CNN’s report, the demonstrations spread to many provinces in the last 24 hours. At some places the protests turned violent and there were face-to-face clashes with security forces. According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, protesters threw stones at police and set fire to several vehicles. The agency claimed that some armed miscreants took advantage of the crowd. Later the security forces also recovered weapons from many people.

President Pezeshkian’s soft stance
The civilian government led by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has shown willingness to negotiate with the protesters. He said in a program broadcast on state TV, ‘If we are not able to solve the livelihood problems of the people from the Islamic point of view, then we will have to face hell.’

Iranian economy is already under pressure from sanctions
Iran’s economy has been under pressure for years due to US and Western sanctions related to its nuclear program. The 12-day conflict with Israel in June worsened the situation, further weakening the government’s financial position.
