Israel used its Farsi channel to amplify messages of resistance as protests spread in Iran.<\/p>\n
IsraelPersian, the official Farsi social media page of the Foreign Ministry<\/a>, has been sharing posts encouraging the anti-regime protesters<\/a> across Iran on Thursday.<\/p>\n The pinned message at the top of the account’s X\/Twitter feed asks, “What do the Iranian people want?”<\/p>\n A post from Thursday afternoon appears to show authorities spraying protesters with water cannons.<\/p>\n The caption on the post reads “The people of Iran are not afraid of a delusional and disillusioned government. On the contrary, it is the government that trembles at the power of the people.”<\/p>\n The following post discusses the protesters’ motives.<\/p>\n “The Iranian people are out in the streets today, loudly. There are hundreds of reasons, including that they don’t want this government, a government that poured its money down the throats of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis terrorists and destroyed their economy for nuclear ambitions. The Iranian people deserve better than this,” it reads.<\/p>\n Then, a post shows a cartoon of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> leaders hiding in a room as protesters break through the door.<\/p>\n The caption on the post reads “The destruction calendar they [the Islamic Republic regime] had set for Israel has now been set for themselves.”<\/p>\n The final post shared on Thursday evening shows a picture of a lion and sun, symbols traditionally linked with Iran’s pre-Islamic Revolution, and still used by anti-regime and pro-monarchy activists<\/a>, with a sandglass depicting time running out for the Islamic Republic’s regime.<\/p>\n The caption for the post reads “The rise of Iranian lions and lionesses to fight against darkness. Light triumphs over darkness.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\nForeign Ministry mocks Khamenei, IRGC as cowering<\/h3>\n
