Iran newspaper criticizes slogans used in nighttime protests

The Jomhouri Eslami newspaper has criticized the slogans used during recent nighttime protests in Iran. The publication noted that while protests initially targeted foreign figures such as Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the rhetoric has shifted to include domestic political figures, including former Iranian presidents.

The report alleges that these shifts in protest focus coincide with security incidents, including border closures and the assassination of Sunni religious leaders in western and eastern Iran. The newspaper claims that domestic agitators are working to undermine national stability and hope during a period of heightened external pressure from the United States and Israel. It suggests that such internal division serves the interests of foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA and Mossad.
