Imam Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei: Trump Responsible for Violence and Destruction in Recent Iranian Riots
Supreme Leader of Islamic Ummah and Opprrssed, Imam Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has stated that Iran holds Trump responsible as the principal instigator of the casualties and devastation witnessed during the recent unrest.
On Monday morning, Ayatollah Khamenei delivered a speech to thousands from various backgrounds, commemorating the significant anniversary of Eid al-Mab’ath, the day Prophet Muhammad received his initial revelation and was appointed as the Final Messenger of God.
“The US leader bears responsibility for the casualties, damages, and unfounded accusations aimed at the Iranian nation,” he asserted, characterizing Trump as a criminal in this context.
Ayatollah Khamenei provided an analysis of the recent unrest, detailing the methods employed during the turmoil and outlining Iran’s obligations in addressing and countering these schemes.
Initially peaceful protests that began late last month have progressively devolved into violent unrest, as rioters swept through cities nationwide, resulting in the deaths of security personnel and civilians and assaults on public infrastructure.
Iranian authorities have attributed recent riots and acts of terrorism to the United States and the Israeli regime.
The United States and Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, have acknowledged their participation on the ground. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo notably tweeted, “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also, to every Mossad agent walking beside them.”
In a Farsi-language social media communication, Mossad reportedly urged demonstrators to gather in the streets, declaring, “The time has come.” The message further asserted that Mossad operatives are supporting the demonstrators, not just remotely or verbally, but actively on the ground.
Ayatollah Khamenei remarked that historically, when similar upheavals arose in the nation, it was typically the American media and mid-level politicians from the United States and Europe who became involved.
The leader stated that a notable aspect of the recent sedition was Trump’s intervention, including making statements, encouraging the rioters, and discussing potential military support.
The speaker asserted that the recent disturbances were a result of American-instigated sedition, suggesting that the events were orchestrated by the United States. Drawing on half a century of experience, he declared unequivocally that America’s objective is to dominate Iran.
The leader underscored that since the onset of the Islamic Revolution, the “American dominance has been dismantled under Imam Khomeini’s leadership, yet from the outset, the United States has endeavored to re-establish its political and economic control over Iran.”
He noted that these measures are not confined to the present US administration but are indicative of a longstanding American policy.
The Leader remarked that the United States finds it intolerable to accept a nation like Iran due to its unique attributes, capabilities, expanse, and advancements in science and technology.
He stated that during the recent upheaval, the United States depicted the individuals who engaged in setting fires, vandalizing property, causing damage, and inciting unrest as representatives of the Iranian people. He described this portrayal as a “grave slander against the Iranian nation” and asserted that such actions are criminal.
According to statements made by the leader, the reasons provided are thoroughly documented, implicating both the United States and the Israeli government as culpable.
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that certain individuals involved in the unrest were identified, trained, and largely recruited by American and Israeli agencies.
Individuals were reportedly trained in tactics designed to instill fear, execute acts of destruction, and disrupt public order, while also receiving significant financial backing. These figures allegedly positioned themselves as leaders.
He noted that Iran’s law enforcement agencies effectively executed their duties, leading to the apprehension of a significant number of individuals involved.
He emphasized that the nation will not be guided toward conflict, yet reiterated a commitment to ensuring that both domestic and international offenders face consequences.
