The supreme guide, Ali Khamenei, came out of silence on Monday October 3, while the uprising in Iran entered his third week. “I say it directly: these riots and insecurity are the work of the United States, of the Zionist regime [Israel in the Official Jargon of Tehran], their mercenaries and certain traitors abroad which helped. In these events, police organizations, the Bassidji [militias faithful to the regime, usually in civilian clothes] and the people have suffered injustices more than everyone else, “said this first authority in the country .
Since September 16, the day of the death of Iranian Mahsa (Jina of her first name Kurdish) AIni During her police custody at the Police of Manners, the demonstrations affect almost all the provinces of the country daily.
“The judiciary must judge and condemn the perpetrators of trouble according to their participation in sabotage,” asked Ali Khamenei during his speech to the students of the Academy of the Armed Forces in Tehran.
The words of the supreme guide, predictable in that they establish a link between any dissonant voice in Iran and foreign enemies, constitute above all a green light to the military forces engaged in the repression since the start of the uprising.
