US and Israel egging on foreign killers embedded in crowds – Iranian president

The people of Iran have a right to protest, unlike terrorists brought in from abroad, Masoud Pezeshkian has said

RT report (11 Jan 2026): Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the US and Israel of stirring unrest in Iran by 'egging on' foreign 'terrorists' embedded among protesters. The demonstrations began late December amid hyperinflation and an economic crisis; violent clashes have caused dozens of deaths among security forces and civilians, and multiple mosques, medical centres and other buildings have reportedly been set on fire. Authorities imposed a nationwide internet blackout. State media and PressTV published graphic footage of violence, and officials say foreign agents and Molotov attacks targeted civilians (example: mosque in Sabzevar). The article cites statements from Pezeshkian, PressTV, and references US President Donald Trump's social media posts offering support. Source: RT (state-funded Russian outlet).
