Ayatollah Khamenei claimed that the demonstrations had thwarted what he described as hostile foreign plots aimed at destabilizing Iran. He alleged that external powers had attempted to exploit internal unrest by using “hired agents” within the country, but said the efforts failed due to public vigilance and national solidarity.
According to state-affiliated media, pro-government rallies were held in several major cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz. Participants reportedly carried national flags, banners supporting the leadership, and chanted slogans emphasizing independence and resistance against foreign interference.
The Supreme Leader stated that the Iranian people had once again shown determination and political maturity by standing firm against what he termed psychological and economic pressure from abroad. He stressed that such unity plays a vital role in safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and stability.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions both domestically and internationally. Iran has recently witnessed weeks of protests over political and economic grievances, drawing global attention and criticism, particularly from Western governments and human rights organizations. Tehran, however, has repeatedly accused foreign actors of fueling unrest inside the country.
Observers note that the government-backed rallies are intended to project strength and counter narratives of widespread dissent. Analysts say the leadership is keen to reinforce the image of popular legitimacy at a time when Iran faces increasing diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and regional challenges.
Ayatollah Khamenei concluded his message by reiterating confidence in the Iranian nation’s resilience, stating that unity between the people and the state remains the strongest response to external pressure.
As developments continue to unfold, the situation in Iran remains closely watched by regional and international stakeholders.
