An Israeli expert on Middle East affairs says the time is right for the American and Israeli intelligence services to intervene in the riots in Iran.

Israeli media quoted experts in "Tel Aviv" as stressing the need to exploit what they described as the "hijab protest in Iran," in order to bring down the Iranian regime.

In an article on the Israeli News 1 website, Yoni Ben-Menachem, an expert on Middle East affairs, said that it is not clear where the riots in Iran will lead to and how long they will last, calling on the West to exploit the riots to undermine and weaken the Iranian regime, and then toppling it by imposing sanctions on it.

Ben-Menachem considered that the time is right for the American and Israeli intelligence services to intervene in the riots against the Iranian regime as part of their ongoing secret war on the country.

On September 24, Israeli media reported that the authorities in Iran succeeded in controlling the riots, as there is a very clear decline in their scope, noting that American efforts have not succeeded in this regard.

The media pointed out that the Israeli security establishment is pessimistic about the possibility of the ongoing riots succeeding in bringing about the change they aspire to in Iran.

In recent times, Iran has witnessed riots that have led to the killing and injuring of civilians and security forces.

It is noteworthy that in late October, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and the IRGC's intelligence wing revealed that intelligence obtained by Tehran indicates that the CIA and allied intelligence services planned a conspiracy in Iran against the Islamic Republic.

"The conspiracy's goal is to commit a crime against the Iranian people and the territorial integrity of Iran," the statement underlined.

"The main perpetrators were the CIA, the British and Saudi intelligence services, the Israeli Mossad, and the intelligence services of other countries," it read, indicating that "the planning and the execution of the majority of the riots were carried out by the Mossad in collaboration with terrorist organizations."

Riots on a payroll

For more than 40 years, a harsh embargo has been imposed on Iran. Yet, Iran was able to self-sustain and overcome the sanctions. Nonetheless, Western attempts to disrupt Iran did not cease, and external interventions to tear the country apart are relentless. Today, Iran unveils the terror attacks, media campaigns, and Western sedition aimed at destabilizing the country.
