There is only one word to describe the CIA-Mossad-financed terrorists in Iran: traitors.
And traitors deserve no mercy, especially when they align themselves with the enemies of the state and against their own people.
Iran’s defense minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh revealed on January 14 that the Islamic Republic has “precise intelligence” showing the United States, the zionist regime, and some of their allied countries set up joint coordination centers to shape a future for “separatists” and terrorists in Iran.
The terrorists were provided weapons and cash to turn people’s genuine grievances about rising food prices into riots.
They targeted properties, banks and ambulances and killed people.
Their gruesome acts included beheadings, burning people alive and even killing their own agents from the back to escalate the number of killings.
They were aware that the killings would be automatically blamed on the security forces.
The numbers will be amplified by an eager western media, especially the BBC Persian Service to portray Iran on the verge of collapse.
The BBC has gained notoriety for spreading lies about Iran and giving credence to exaggerated claims of killings.
Contrast this with the well-documented zionist genocide in Gaza.
The BBC refuses to call it a genocide or even accept that more than 70,000 people have been killed.
In Iran’s case, it eagerly projects the figures as if they are correct.
One three-year-old gravely ill girl, being carried by her father to a pharmacy in Tehran to get her some medication, was shot in the head and killed.
These diabolical acts were part of the larger plot, hatched by the CIA and Mossad, to instigate an uprising in hopes of overthrowing the Islamic government.
Far from materializing, it failed miserably.
While the people have genuine grievances—and officials at the highest level acknowledged them and took steps to address them—the aim of the enemies’ agents was altogether sinister.
Senior officials held discussions with merchants’ representatives to devise a strategy to address their concerns.
As an immediate step, the government announced food subsidies deposited directly into people’s accounts.
These benefited 82 million people out of a population of some 90 million.
The multiple currency exchange rates were also abolished that were open to abuse by unscruplous people.
Unfortunately, there are always people in every society that would take advantage of such a situation.
As the foreign-backed terrorists went on a rampage burning buildings and killing people, the overwhelming majority of Iranians recoiled in horror at these criminal acts.
Why would anyone attack and burn mosques and the shrines of Ahlul Bayt?
In a deeply religious society, these acts aroused deep resentment toward the rioters.
Millions of people came out in the streets of different cities in Iran—Tehran, Yazd, Mashhad, Isfahan and Urmia—on January 12 to pledge allegiance to the Rahbar, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei and to the Islamic government.
They also categorically rejected the terrorists’ plot.
Regardless of their political affiliation, the overwhelming majority of Iranians view the US, Israel and the collective west as their enemies.
They witnessed this most recently during the 12-day war of aggression launched by the zionist entity and the US last June.
More than 1200 people were killed, most of them civilians, in the 12-day war.
The people also know that most of their economic problems stem from illegal US sanctions that have caused so much financial turmoil in Iran.
And most Iranians have not forgotten what US and western interventions have done to countries like Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Syria.
They do not wish to undergo a similar experience.
The intelligence ministry of the Islamic Republic has obtained precise information about what was being paid to the terrorists for carrying out various criminal acts.
Defence Minister Nasirzadeh revealed the following figures:
“For killing each person, 500 million tomans (roughly US$3,300).
“For burning a car, 200 million tomans (US$1,300).
“For setting police stations on fire, 80 million tomans (US$530).
“And for any disruptive action, 15 million tomans (US$100).”
The defence minister further revealed that most victims were killed with knives, by suffocation, or by close-range blows.
Nearly 60 percent of those killed were struck close to the head.
Nasirzadeh quoted one of the wounded detainees as saying: “The same person who invited me to the riots attacked me, and after some time passed, he shot me and said, ‘You are no longer useful’.”
Those backing the violent riots in Iran are in for a rude shock. Unlike the rioters, the Islamic system enjoys mass backing. The people are ...
