Tehran woman linked to violent unrest confesses communication with Israeli PM
Tehran: A woman leading a group involved in recent violent protests in Iran has admitted to establishing direct contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to coordinate efforts aimed at spreading unrest across the country.
According to Iranian media, Chief Justice Gholam Hossein Mohsen recorded statements from multiple detainees in Tehran. The woman, fluent in seven languages, confessed to collaborating with pro-Pahlavi social media networks and Israel-supporting circles during the protests. She confirmed that delivering messages directly to Netanyahu was part of her activities.
Two other detainees acknowledged targeting a police station to incite tension and anti-government sentiment, while another admitted firing a shotgun from his Tehran apartment at law enforcement officials and civilians. Additionally, three suspects disclosed throwing concrete blocks at officers and civilians during the unrest.
Chief Justice Mohsen stated that all arrested individuals had indirect or direct links with foreign intelligence agencies and would be held accountable for inciting violence and disrupting public order. Earlier in January, peaceful protests in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar over rising prices and harsh sanctions escalated into nationwide violent demonstrations on January 8. Iran has accused Israel and the U.S. of orchestrating these disturbances.
This revelation highlights the alleged foreign influence behind Iran’s recent unrest, raising tensions over national security and international interference.
