Illegal sanctions pressure is the root cause of the protests in Iran, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said
The West is seeking regime change in Iran and is using the color-revolution playbook, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, commenting on the ongoing protests in the Islamic Republic.
Foreign nations want to turn a peaceful protest into “cruel and senseless unrest,” she warned, adding that Moscow condemns interference in Iran’s internal affairs.
US President Donald Trump has openly expressed his support for the protesters in recent days. The US is “locked and loaded” to intervene in Iran to support the demonstrations, he said, adding that America would “start shooting” if the authorities use force against the crowds.
Israel openly endorsed the unrest as well. Its national intelligence agency Mossad has admitted to having operatives in the Islamic Republic.
Tehran has blamed the protests on Washington and West Jerusalem by saying that the US and Israel had a “big hand” in the unrest.
Russia “resolutely condemns disruptive foreign interference” in Iran’s domestic politics, Zakharova told journalists on Tuesday. Washington’s threats to use force against the Islamic Republic are “absolutely unacceptable,” she said, warning that any strikes against Iran could destabilize the entire Middle East.
The spokeswoman also blamed the economic crisis in Iran that triggered the protests on Western sanctions. The West has been “pressuring” Iran for years through the illegal restrictions, she said, adding that the sanctions were affecting the lives of ordinary people. Now, Western nations are trying to exploit the resulting social and economic tensions to “destroy the Iranian state,” she said.
The protests erupted in several Iranian cities on December 28, as the national currency, the rial, hit a record low. They quickly spread to other cities and turned political and violent, marking the worst unrest in recent years.
On Monday, Trump stated that Washington was considering “strong options” against Iran amid the unrest. On Tuesday, the US warned Americans to “leave Iran” immediately. Tehran has previously warned that it could target US forces in the Middle East if Washington tries to intervene.
Documentary on how we got here....Ukraine On Fire - The US / CIA Color Revolution in Ukraine BEFORE the War
Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west-Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014's Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? "Ukraine on Fire" by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which lead to the 2004 Orange Revolution, 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people's revolution, it was in fact a coup d'état scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America's geopolitical agenda abroad.
