The Iranian administration has announced three days of mourning for victims of US- and Israeli-backed riots.

Iran strongly warns the US and the Israeli regime about the consequences of their support for rioters seeking to turn economic protests across the Islamic Republic into unrest.

Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the UN, said in his letter that Washington bears direct responsibility for “riots and violent acts” in Iran.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran has emerged much stronger following the 12-day war that was imposed on it by the Israeli regime and the United States in June.

The Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) reaffirms its commitment to stand alongside the Iranian nation in the face of foreign-linked riots.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) says the recent riots were planned and directed by Israel and the United States as part of an ongoing campaign to push the country into insecurity.
