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

The head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, announced on January 29 that the IRGC had been included in the list of terrorist organizations by the European Union. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Abbas Araqchi, in turn, said that this decision was a "strategic mistake."

On the same day, The Times newspaper reported that representatives of the British Ministry of the Interior are currently preparing sanctions against the IRGC.
