The recent unrest and disturbances in Iran cannot be analyzed merely within the framework of social protests. Numerous indications suggest that these events were part of a deliberate and organized project designed by foreign adversaries—particularly the United States and the Zionist regime—to undermine Iran’s national security and stability. Iranian media outlets and officials have repeatedly emphasized that these developments are a continuation of the so-called “maximum pressure” strategy and a broader hybrid war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

According to reports published by Iranian news agencies, the United States and Israel have for years employed various tools—including economic sanctions, psychological warfare, media operations, and social networks—to foment dissatisfaction and instability inside Iran. During the recent unrest, this strategy was pursued more aggressively, with attempts to transform limited social grievances into organized and violent riots.

One of the most significant dimensions of this sedition was the extensive role played by Western- and Israeli-linked media outlets. Networks such as Iran International, BBC Persian, and other aligned platforms sought to inflame tensions by exaggerating events, disseminating biased and misleading information, and openly encouraging the continuation of unrest. Iranian sources have reported that some of these outlets even published practical instructions aimed at provoking chaos and confronting security forces.

Furthermore, evidence and statements cited by domestic media indicate that intelligence agencies affiliated with the United States and the Zionist regime attempted to organize and sustain the unrest through financial support, cyber guidance, and communication with anti-Iranian elements and opposition groups. These actions are widely assessed as part of a joint Washington–Tel Aviv strategy to weaken Iran’s regional influence and entangle the country in internal crises.

Ultimately, the recent unrest once again demonstrated that Iran’s enemies seize every opportunity to strike at the nation’s security and unity. Nevertheless, public awareness, the clarifying role of domestic media, and the firm response of Iran’s security and law enforcement institutions prevented the core objectives of this sedition from being realized. Enhancing public awareness and understanding the nature of the enemy’s hybrid warfare remain the most effective means of preventing the repetition of such scenarios in the future.
