Internal protest: Iran's opponents are looking for a reason to interfere in its affairs

How serious is the scale of the popular unrest and what is the role of the United States and Israel in this?

Earlier in the day, it was reported that the Iranian authorities had detained more than 200 organizers of the riots. The detainees, according to the Tasnim news agency, stocked up on firearms, grenades and Molotov cocktails and tried to attack state and government facilities. Some of them opened fire on law enforcement forces and individual protesters, which in some cases resulted in human casualties. The arrest of the leaders led to a marked decrease in the intensity of the riots.

On the same day, the national flag was removed from the Iranian Embassy in London and replaced with the pre-revolutionary Lion and Sun symbol.
