Ayatollah Khatami blasted certain foreign countries for orchestrating recent violence in Iran \u200eand supporting the rioters, and said that their plots were all in vain.\u200e<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
RNA \u2013 Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people attending Friday prayers in \u200eTehran, Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Khatami said, \u201cThe enemies themselves said that they had \u200eplanned for three years and trained their men inside and outside the country, while the \u200emilking cow of Trump spent a lot in the recent unrests and provided them with its media and \u200edid whatever it could, but their plots were foiled.\u201d\u200e<\/p>\n

In relevant remarks on Wednesday, Head of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Public \u200eRelations Department Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif announced that ringleaders of the \u200erecent riots in Iran who had ties with foreign security agencies have been arrested in four \u200elarge provinces.\u200e<\/p>\n

The ringleaders of unrests in four provinces of Iran, including Alborz, Fars, Tehran and \u200eKhuzestan, have been arrested, General Sharif said, addressing a gathering in the Northern \u200eprovince of Gilan.\u200e<\/p>\n

He noted that these arrests contributed a lot to riots to abate, adding that these individuals \u200ehad links with foreign security services.\u200e<\/p>\n

General Sharif said the enemies employed thugs to create unrest after the failure of \u200esanctions against Iran.\u200e<\/p>\n

The United States and its proxies have gained nothing 18 months after the imposition of \u200efresh sanctions on the Iranian nation, the general said, adding that the Americans have \u200eformally announced support for the riots and recent acts of vandalism and insecurity in Iran.\u200e<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Iranian President Hasan Rouhani praised people for keeping distance from \u200ethe rioters who damaged public and private properties, and said the recent violence in Iran \u200ewas organized by the United States, Israel and certain reactionary regimes in the region.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201cThe number of people who had taken to the streets was clear, and there were only a few \u200ehooligans were among them; but the hooligans were well organized and armed, acting on \u200ebehalf of the regional reactionaries, the Zionists and Americans,\u201d Rouhani said, addressing a \u200ecabinet meeting in Tehran.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201cAs the Leader said, our people have foiled the enemies\u2019 plots in face of different incidents, \u200eand they became victorious in the recent plots that the enemies had hatched,\u201d he added.\u200e<\/p>\n

Riots by a small number who had taken advantage of legitimate public protests against the \u200egovernment\u2019s gas price hike plan in Iran were directed at sowing chaos through targeted \u200eattacks on public and private properties, forcing law enforcement to step in to stop \u200esaboteurs.\u200e<\/p>\n

Early estimates of an intelligence body showed that a sum of nearly 87,000 protesters and \u200erioters had taken part in protest rallies and gatherings since Friday night, mostly (over 93%) \u200emen. A large number of protesters had only been present in the gathering centers and \u200eavoided joining the rioters in sabotage attacks on public and private properties.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201cThe identical methods of the main core of violent rioters discloses that they are fully trained \u200eindividuals who have been prepared and looking forward for the situation to rise, unlike most \u200epeople who have been taken off guard by the sudden hike in gas price,\u201d the report said.\u200e<\/p>\n

The report showed that gatherings have been comprised of 50 to 1,500 people held in 100 \u200eregions of the country out of a number of 1,080 major towns and cities. The report says \u200eviolent raids and damage inflicted on properties has been larger than what happened in \u200eFebruary 2018 unrests.\u200e<\/p>\n

Most cases of damage to properties had happened in Khuzestan, Tehran, Fars and Kerman \u200eprovinces. The report says most casualties have resulted from armed outlaws\u2019 attacks on oil \u200estorage and military centers, adding that a number of police and popular forces have been \u200emartyred in these attacks.\u200e<\/p>\n

Nearly 1,000 people were arrested across the country while over 100 banks and 57 big \u200estores were set on fire or plundered in just one province.\u200e<\/p>\n

The Iranian intelligence ministry announced in a statement on Sunday that it had identified \u200eseveral rioters who misused the recent protest rallies against the gasoline price hikes to \u200edestroy public and private properties.\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201cThe main culprits behind the riots in the past two days have been identified and proper \u200emeasures are being adopted and the honorable nation will be informed about its result \u200elater,\u201d the statement said.\u200e<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
