Iran Accuses US and Israel of Supporting Protests

The Iranian regime has declared three days of “public mourning” for security personnel killed during recent protests, framing the demonstrators as “terrorists” supported by the US and Israel. Protests, which erupted on December 28 over rising prices, have led to significant unrest, with reports of 490 protesters and 48 security personnel dead, and over 10,600 arrests. Rallies condemning the protests are scheduled nationwide, while US officials warn President Trump about military action options against Iran. State TV has broadcasted funeral processions for the deceased security forces amidst this turmoil.
