Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called the recent protests in Iran a sedition and considered it a continuation of the 12-day war.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, at the beginning of today’s public session, called the recent nationwide protests a sedition and said these events were a continuation of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran.
He also claimed that the recent protests were ignited with the involvement and intervention of the US President and added that what we witnessed on Thursday and Friday was a terrorist war with a similar aim to the operations of the pagers in Lebanon.
In recent weeks, officials of the Islamic Republic, in justifying the crackdown on protests, have portrayed the protesters as affiliated with foreign countries and claimed they were armed, claims that are made while in most of the published images and videos so far, the use of firearms is mainly seen by forces affiliated with the government.
Ghalibaf continued by saying that the Supreme Leader, without fear of the threats from the disrespectful US President, distinguished the line between protesters and rioters.
According to the Speaker of the Parliament, the representatives also addressed economic issues and some other topics in a non-public session today.
