Iranian protesters reject US and Israeli interference

Protesters in Iran, demonstrating against rising living costs and state repression, express wariness and suspicion of foreign interference from the United States and Israel. A tweet from former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fueled speculation that Israeli Mossad agents were involved in the demonstrations, a narrative also pushed by the Iranian government. Despite some opposition figures calling for external help for regime change, many on the ground fear the true intentions of foreign powers. The situation is escalating amid threats of intervention from US and Israeli officials, with significant casualties reported during the unrest.
