Riots in Iran

Iranian army commander, Maj. Gen. Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, considered on Monday that the riots in Iran were part of the United States' plan to disrupt negotiations on the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Mass riots began in Iran in mid-September in connection with the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Iranian authorities have accused Western countries of fueling mass riots, and European diplomats were given a note of protest in connection with anti-Iranian media reports and calls to overthrow the country's government.

"The recent unrest in Iran was part of US efforts to disrupt the negotiations in Vienna [on the JCPOA]," Mousavi was quoted as saying by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB.

"It is natural that I may say things in a private conversation with my parents that I would never say publicly," said #BBC Persian's Senior TV Presenter, acknowledging the recording.#Iran https://t.co/Q0fcIcDEJv

Earlier in the day, Iran's special services intercepted a cargo with money and intelligence equipment from Saudi Arabia, which was intended for rioters, Mousavi revealed.

On Saturday, during a meeting with a group of students in Tehran, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said that "riots and the attempts to create chaos in the country are different from protests. The riots and those creating insecurity should be definitely countered."
