She claimed that these external players aimed to manipulate public discontent and escalate the demonstrations into violent confrontations. The latest reports suggest that foreign interference in Iranian protests was unmistakably conspicuous, with high-profile American figures, including former CIA director Mike Pompeo, acknowledging involvement. According to Mohajerani, the intention behind the effort was to undermine peaceful protests and escalate them into violent clashes, leading to civilian casualties. Notably, in recent days, 158 ambulances were vandalized, an act that diverges sharply from peaceful demonstration efforts. This awareness prompted mass public demonstrations, involving millions across the country, to show strong support for the Islamic establishment following recent riots.
