A Pahlavi souvenir in the final clash inside the Western think tank

January 21, 2026 - 20:45

TEHRAN - The main project of the expatriates and the Western–Hebrew think tank behind the recent unrest in Iran, from its very beginning on Dey 18 (January 8), was not merely to create disorder and insecurity, but rather to wait for feedback on the level of violence and to increase the number of casualties.

The outbreak of this unrest was completely planned. It focused on keeping the flames alive in cities whose bravery during the 12-day war had become legendary. In a fully engineered manner, they ignited and nurtured the core of the fire in these cities.

At the same time, in Syria, during clashes between Jolani’s forces and the Democratic Forces, in addition to the casualties from Israeli attacks, thousands of civilians and military personnel were killed. Those who survived took their own lives and the lives of their loved ones and fled their cities and homes. One year has passed since Bashar al-Assad’s departure, yet Syria still sees the color of blood instead of the color of calm—and this is the very scenario they have prescribed for Iran.

A foreign-made recipe

This is the path that the Western–Hebrew think tank, armed groups, and a number of the deceived are determined to draw for Iran. Since their slogan in this conflict was “the final clash,” the level of violence and the systematic nature of the unrest were far more intense, imposing brutal and unjust casualties on the dear people of Iran.

The fate of the arrogant

That arrogant man sitting in the White House—while the police of his own country easily open fire on their people—prescribes solutions for Iranians, speaks of helping them, and, intoxicated by arrogance, considers himself the master of the world. According to the words of the Supreme Leader, he should know that tyrants and arrogant rulers of the world—such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, Reza Khan, Mohammad Reza, and the like—were overthrown precisely when they were at the height of their arrogance; this one, too, will be overthrown.

What should be done?

The solution to confronting these riots and the enemy’s defiance lies only in the firmness and decisiveness of the security and military forces, and in uncompromising judicial action against rioters, terrorists, and their supporters in cyberspace, including celebrities and others. At the same time, the most important element is preserving national unity. Just as during the 12-day war, and like the Day of God on Dey 22 (January 12) —when, in a massive march after these disturbances, the nation demonstrated its unity—the Iranian people must always maintain their national cohesion and recognize the enemy and its plots. In that case, victory will always belong to the Iranian nation.
