Iran’s top echelons resolved to address economic woes, ensure security
During the recent “complex sedition”, which was orchestrated by the longtime enemies of the “Islamic Revolution”, the vigilance of the Iranians in distinguishing protesters from rioters and the sacrifices of the security forces, thwarted the “sinister plan of the designers of the scenario” in Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said in their statement.
Some shopkeepers last month staged peaceful protests in different Iranian cities over economic grievances, which are directly linked to unilateral US sanctions. The demonstrations, however, were steered toward violence after public statements by US and Israeli regime figures encouraged vandalism and disorder. During the unrest, foreign-backed armed rioters damaged public property and caused casualties among civilians and security forces. Hundreds of people have been arrested for their involvement in the riots.
In their Monday’s statement, the three top officials vowed to address the root causes of the recent events in the country.
While placing a premium on administering “decisive punishment for the murderers” and terrorist elements in the country’s riots, the three said they will extend leniency toward those who did not play a fundamental role in the events.
They also praised the nations’ awareness which neutralized the “most complex conspiracies by enemies against the unity of a strong and independent Iran.”
