Iran Dismisses Uprising as ‘Israeli Plot,’ Claims Protests Under Control

Hol

Well-known
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday claimed the massive nationwide uprising against the regime he serves was an “Israeli plot” carried out by “ISIS-style terrorist operations,” and the regime has defeated these “terrorists” after three days of pitched battle.

“These terrorist cells entered the protests, using Daesh-style terrorist operations. They shot at police officers, burned them alive, beheaded them, and targeted civilians,” Araghchi claimed in an interview with Brett Baier of Fox News. “Daesh” is another name for the Islamic State.

“For three days, we were not fighting protesters. We were fighting terrorists,” Araghchi said.

According to the Iranian foreign minister, Israel’s sinister plot involved forcing the Iranian regime to kill thousands of people, which would pressure President Donald Trump to make good on his promise to defend the protesters.

“They wanted to increase the death toll. Why? Because President Trump had previously stated that if there were killings, he would intervene. Their goal was to draw the United States into the conflict,” he charged.

“This was a deliberate plot by Israel. They sought to create more deaths by targeting ordinary people and police officers,” he said.
