Sadr al-Hosseini: Trump has entered the field to make the protests violent

In an interview with ISNA, international affairs expert Sidreza Sadr al-Hosseini said about the protests in Iran in connection with US President Donald Trump’s interventionist stance on Friday: In addition to Trump’s message this morning, we are witnessing an increase in interventionist statements by the Zionist authorities in Iran’s internal affairs since the early hours of today.

He continued: The Zionist regime, with the message of Mrs. “Gamlil”, the Minister of Science and Technology, addressed to the Iranians, took the first stance of supporting the rioters and inciting the general public to join them. It seems that he acts as a liaison between the Zionists, the enemy’s intelligence services and rioters, and in this context, he has assumed the responsibility of provoking the Iranian nation and turning protests into riots.

The rooster’s tail came out earlier than expected

This expert on international issues stated that in these developments “the rooster’s tail came out earlier than expected”, and said: “Trump, with his interventionist statements, seeks to push the protest movements of the Iranian people towards violence and thus advance his political goals.”

Referring to the awareness of the Iranian people about the interventionist policies of the United States in the internal affairs of countries, including Iran, in the past years, Sadr al-Hosseini clarified: Trump, due to his lack of knowledge of political subtleties, explicitly came to the aid of royalists and hypocrites in recent developments, but the Iranian people are fully aware of these policies.

Emphasizing that the Islamic Republic of Iran considers the people’s protest against the current state of the country’s economy and the pressures in this field to be legal and respects it, he said: All the responsible authorities should do their best to reduce these pressures and problems.

Protest should be separated from disturbance

Referring to the holding of meetings of the president with economic experts and trade union representatives in recent days, this international affairs expert added: “Suggestions have been made in this regard, which are being investigated and followed up.”

He continued: In addition to respecting and accepting protests, there should be a precise and clear demarcation between protest and disturbance. The country’s security authorities, including the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, have made this distinction with their clear statements, and the task in this regard is clear. In this framework, rioters who are influenced by foreign interventionist factors should not be allowed to cause instability in the country.
