US and Israel 'Directly Intervening' in Iran Protests

Iran's Foreign Minister has accused the United States and Israel of directly intervening in the protests taking place in the country. He simultaneously dismissed the possibility of direct foreign military intervention, arguing that previous attempts of this kind had failed. According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the US and Israel are trying to turn peaceful protests into violent and divisive ones. These accusations were made during his visit to Lebanon. Araghchi stressed that Iran does not consider military intervention likely, as previous attempts by foreign powers had no effect. The situation in Iran remains tense, with protests continuing.
