Iran Judiciary Chief Blames US, Israel for Protests, Calls Them “Criminals” Who Must Be Prosecuted

claimed Washington and Tel Aviv were backing “terrorists” with financial, material, and moral support, and criticised the international community for failing to condemn them.
Protests erupted in Iran in late December over worsening economic conditions and the sharp fall of the rial, later escalating after U.S. President Donald Trump publicly urged demonstrators to continue their protests. Iranian authorities say over 100 security personnel were killed during the unrest, even as rallies in support of the government have since taken place nationwide.
