A senior official in Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement has warned that the developments unfolding in Iran could mark the opening phase of a broader regional campaign aimed at destabilizing major Islamic states, describing the situation as part of a US-backed Israeli project to reshape West Asia.

Mohammad al-Farah, a member of Ansar Allah’s political bureau, said in a post on X that the events in Iran amount to a “made-up revolution led by Israel under direct US sponsorship.” He framed the developments as aligned with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared plan to dismantle the region and reconfigure it according to a "Zionist vision".

Al-Farah said Iran is being targeted because of its opposition to US hegemony and Israeli aggression, as well as its support for oppressed peoples, particularly Palestinians. This, according to him, has made Iran a priority on the agenda of “arrogant powers” seeking to impose their will on the region.

He stressed that Iran constitutes a “cornerstone and essential pillar of the Islamic world,” warning that any attack on the country would open the door to a sequential campaign against other Islamic states. Treating the current developments as isolated or local, he said, would be a “grave mistake".

'A warning of a looming existential confrontation'

According to al-Farah, the situation in Iran should be understood as a warning of a looming existential confrontation rather than a temporary crisis. He cautioned that even states that have pursued normalization deals with "Israel" or aligned themselves with Washington would not be shielded from future targeting.

He added that major Islamic countries, including Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, could eventually fall within the scope of such a scheme, regardless of their diplomatic or strategic ties with Washington or Tel Aviv.

Al-Farah further argued that the United States is pursuing a comprehensive strategy to redraw global and regional power structures, including within allied states, describing the current phase as one of “direct control". He said Washington’s objective is to dismantle major Islamic states and replace them with a system of direct hegemony.

He concluded by urging Arab and Islamic governments to recognize the historical gravity of the moment and to take coordinated action against what he described as Israeli and American projects in Iran and across the region, warning that failure to respond could allow the crisis to escalate into a sweeping regional confrontation with repercussions that will affect everyone without exception.

It is worth noting that Iran has witnessed several days of armed riots in multiple regions, with incidents involving vandalism of public and private property and the killing of members of the security forces, the Basij, and civilians. Iranian authorities say they are pursuing those responsible, stressing links to terrorist organizations or separatist groups acting in the interests of "Israel’s" Mossad and the United States.
