News - Middle East: Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi has strongly warned the United States and the Israeli regime about the consequences of their support for the rioters, who have been seeking to turn economic protests across Iran into unrest.

The top diplomat made the remarks in a post on X on Saturday, in which he cited former CIA director Mike Pompeo as verifying the Israeli spy agency Mossad’s contribution to the riots.

According to Araghchi, the admission that was made by Pompeo in a post on X earlier this month, debunks the US administration’s allegations against the Islamic Republic of being “delusional” in citing Tel Aviv and Washington’s involvement.

“President Trump's own former CIA Director has openly and unashamedly highlighted what Mossad and its American enablers are really up to,” the foreign minister wrote.

Amid the situation, it is rather the US and the Israeli regime, which are “delusional,” he pointed out, saying the delusion featured the allies’ believing that “arson does not ultimately [burn] arsonists.”

Also on Saturday, President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US was mistaken in believing that its tactics against other adversaries could be applied to the Islamic Republic, asserting that the Iranian people remained alert to any attempts to destabilize the country.

“Believing that the Islamic Republic of Iran is like other countries, the US is pursuing the same measures by encouraging certain individuals to create chaos and riots,” he said.

The chief executive added, however, that the nation “will support the country and the [Islamic] establishment more strongly than before.”

The comments echoed numerous remarks made by the Islamic Republic’s various authorities, who have repeatedly stressed that the country would exert due effort to address the economic protests, but stands firmly in the face of attempts at derailing protests towards disorder.
