Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued his first response after three consecutive nights of intensified protests across the country, warning that what he called “rioters and terrorists” brough from outside must not be allowed to disrupt Iranian society. Speaking to state broadcaster IRIB, Pezeshkian urged the public to stand with the government, saying citizens should not allow unrest to undermine stability. “The people of Iran should not allow rioters to disrupt society,” he said. “They must believe that the government seeks to establish justice.” The Iranian president also blamed foreign powers for the unrest, accusing the United States and Israel of attempting to fuel instability inside Iran. According to Pezeshkian, Washington and Tel Aviv are working to “sow chaos and disorder” by orchestrating and encouraging the protests.
