Tehran(The COW News Digital)In response to recent threats by US President Donald Trump, Iran’s top national security official, Ali Larijani, has publicly accused President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being responsible for the deaths of Iranian citizens.
Larijani issued the statement via social media, describing both leaders as “the real killers of the Iranian people.” His remarks come shortly after Trump encouraged anti-government protesters in Iran to rise up, take control of state institutions, and assured them that US support would arrive soon.
Trump had also instructed protesters to remember the names of those he described as “killers and oppressors,” a comment widely seen as a provocation by Iranian authorities. In this context, Larijani’s response directly blamed foreign leaders for escalating tensions in Iran.

The statement highlights the deepening hostility between Iran and both the United States and Israel, reflecting long-standing political and strategic rivalries in the region. Analysts say such rhetoric could further inflame an already volatile situation amid ongoing protests and violent crackdowns in the country.
Iranian state media has amplified Larijani’s comments, framing the issue as foreign interference in Iran’s internal affairs. The escalation comes amid international concerns over human rights violations and the safety of civilians participating in demonstrations across Iran.
Experts suggest that Larijani’s public denunciation of Trump and Netanyahu signals Tehran’s intention to shift attention toward external actors, portraying the unrest as part of a broader campaign of foreign destabilization. The statement may also be aimed at rallying domestic support amid growing protests.
As tensions continue, the international community is closely watching developments in Iran, urging restraint from all parties and emphasizing the need to protect civilians and uphold human rights.
