Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed on Sunday to target ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war with ‘Israel’ and the United States continues.
“If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force,” said the Guards on their website Sepah News.
There weren’t hostile enemy nations arming the protesters in Minneapolis, and they weren’t hunting down cops and soldiers. 209 government-affiliated military and non-military personnel were killed during the riots. The situations are not so easily comparable.
This wasn’t protest, it was attempted color revolution. Was Iran supposed to let them overthrow the government?
We know Mossad was involved, because they openly admitted it. Mossad’s official Farsi X (Twitter) account posted: “We are with you. Not only from a distance and verbally. We are with you in the field.” Mossad Director David Barnea’s gave a statement following the June 2025 strikes, warning that Israel “will continue to be there [in Iran], as we have been there.” Mike Pompao came out to say; “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them." We also know they helped distribute satellite internet connections for Starlink to evade media blackouts, and operated social media channels to help coordinate the riots.
CIA is less obvious, they actually have OpSec and know not to brag that they have agents in the streets. It’s hard to believe that the CIA left Israel on its own to conduct this operation, though. Also, the rioters got their guns from somewhere.
Two hundred and nine police being killed vs the unrealistic minimum three thousand of citizens that were gunned down may not paint the “they were just defending themselves” picture you think it does.
I don’t doubt that Mossad was there for meeting unrest. That’s kind of what they do. But they don’t have mind control. The vast majority of those involved were discontented citizens. You could argue that that discontent was exacerbated by outside forces, but the approval ratings of the Iranian government are in the toilet internally. That discontent was already there.
And to be clear, January 6th was also a mob of armed, foreign instigated insurrectionists storming the seat of government in which police were killed. Did the police mow down swaths of citizens then? You can, in fact, subdue an angry mob without pumping it full of automatic gunfire.
