The suspects were involved in the recent mass protests, showing that there was certainly foreign provocation to operate a color revolution in Tehran.

Since the beginning of the mass protests in Iran, many suspicions have arisen that this could be another attempt of color revolution. In fact, the existence of foreign agents interested in promoting a regime change operation in the country seems increasingly clear. Recently, Iranian authorities arrested subversive agents linked to British intelligence. The case shows once again that the demonstrations are not really focused on guaranteeing women’s rights, but on attacking the West’s geopolitical enemies.
Members of the Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on December 25th the arrest of seven leaders of a dissident group involved in the protests that have hit the country in recent months. According to the Guard authorities the criminals were involved with British intelligence agencies, and supposedly interested in destabilizing the Iranian political situation, making a regime change operation possible.
Although the arrest has happened now, when the suspects were finally identified and located, the investigation about the dissident group they were part of is old. The organization is called “Zagros” and would be, according to Iranian intelligence, creating a wide network of “counterrevolutionary elements” inside and outside Iran – receiving support from the British in order to foment social chaos in the Persian country. The seven leaders were found in Kerman province, where they were in constant contact with foreign agents. According to the Iranian police, the British agents have also been identified.
“An organized group called Zagros, which was led by agents from the UK and created a team of active counterrevolutionary elements inside and outside the country to lead subversive activities, especially during recent protests, has been identified as a result of a successful operation”, the Guard’s spokespeople informed Iranian media in a statement.
As well known, Iran has been the target of a drastic mutiny since September. Apparently, the reason for the start of the protests would be the alleged “murder” of Masha Amini, a 22-year-oldwomanwho died when she was in the custody of the Iranian police after being detained for breaking some Islamic moral norms.
Iranian authorities have denied any involvement in Amini’s death, stating that the woman died of natural causes while in custody. In fact, images taken by prison cameras show that Amini was fine, healthy and without any injuries until minutes before she died, which contradicts the Western narrative that she was tortured and beaten to death.
However, even so, mass protests erupted across the country, leading to utter chaos. Quickly, the demonstrations ceased to be peaceful, and the protesters adopted extremely violent methods, resorting to acts of vandalism, sacrilege and beatings. Mosques were destroyed, religious leaders attacked, and government facilities vandalized. Later, the violence escalated to the open use of firearms by the protesters, who murdered several police officers in the streets of the country. Between late October and early November there were also two terrorist attacks, with attackers bombing civilian and military facilities.
The government implemented some counterterrorism measures to neutralize the rebellion. Several protesters were arrested, and investigations gradually progressed to find possible signs of connections between the protesters and foreign groups. Since the beginning of the unrest, the Iranian authorities made it clear that they suspected the existence of an intelligence operation to incite chaos and start a color revolution. The suspicions were corroborated by several geopolitical experts around the world. Now, with the arrest of these Iranian agents at the service of British intelligence, the veracity of suspicions of foreign involvement is even more evident.
Indeed, Iran, regardless of any criticisms that may be made about the local government, is a revolutionary regime safeguarded by broad popular support. Even during the recent demonstrations, there was a great movement of response from the masses supporting the Shia theocracy, who also took to the streets to fight the dissidents. Also, despite maintaining strict moral rules in respect of the traditional Islamic religion, the country has a progressive stance towards women, having high rates of female representation in universities and in high level jobs.
This makes it at least difficult to believe that protests of this magnitude could have developed “naturally” in the country, without incitement to riot by destabilizing groups. What is happening in Iran is something very similar to what happened in several emerging countries during the 2010s, when mass demonstrations evolved into armed clashes and civil wars, resulting in regime change attempts in enemy nations of the West.
But Iran has managed the situation well and seems to have avoided the possibility of a civil war.
Someone mentioned Iranian police were using drones to trace and follow riots to find the main groups that set-up these riots. What these riots would do was – they would look for security cameras and destroy them so the police wouldn’t able to recognize them. They didn’t know drones were used at all.
You know this was a BS act by West – like what happened? None of West MSM saying anything anymore now – as if they got orders to ignore it. They would none stop talk about it and now you hear nothing from them. Like many of us said before, those riots ended weeks before West MSM stopped talking about it.
Also, this got nothing to do with Iran or this report.
RT: “Seoul deployed military aircraft and attack helicopters to chase a flock of birds that was mistaken for an intruding North Korean drone, local media reported on Tuesday, citing the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). This incident occurred a day after five North Korean UAVs reportedly crossed into its neighbor’s territory.”
This happened a day later.
No, the facts are that the younger generation don’t like Islam and are embarrassed by it. Guilty (ashamed) by association I guess. The revolution is 43 years old now. Good quarter of Iranian citizens are against Islam. The other quarter are pro Islam and the silent majority are apolitical.
did you just pull those numbers out your a$$ ??
Have you ever met a religious Iranian?…….lol. I’ll bust you in your fun-hole if you try to take this further……
The Illuminati wants to destroy every religion. If you had an IQ of over 50 you would realize it.
So you are a multi ID muzlim rat……What a surprise…..NOT!
Take your meds
But then again, the western tranny homo feminist agenda will turn them right back to Islam again.
Correct! Atheist for me……but you be religious, cuz that’s all yous got to hold onto…..lol
Listen, you never can enforce religion on people. Also, I would love to know your source and no I don’t take your words for it because it sound BS.
Look at the number of Iranians participating in anti IRI protests in the EU/ Canada/ US. Literally millions.
You are correct, Arseson, I have personally witnessed gathering of 300 million Iranians participating in “anti IRI” protests (whatever that means). Another 50 mil protested in that shithole of Bruxelles. Literally. May I suggest you to stop littering with such a fake infos you give without any substantiation or confirmation from even MSM?
Don’t stew now. You are not Iranian right? You are a religious Afghani or Pakistani right? Stop being bitter.
What!? The largest gathering of Iranians anywhere in the world outside of Iran ever was at Berlin with the help of free transportation, food and money (and also a lot of Turkish, Syrian and Iraqi Kurds, Ukrainian and African refugees as evident from the pics and videos) which was at the same time as Germans protesting against inflation/NATO/Ukraine war and based on the Berlin police report, 27,000 people gathered in the city. MSM ballooned it into 40, 50, 70, 90, 100 and 200k with each passing day. In Iran, police estimates about 400k went to streets in the first 3 days.
Garga, look at the LA Toronto/ NYC and Vancouver protests. Nobody likes these molla’s now. They’ve had 43 years to rule, and now one dollar is 43k toman.
Then take gatherings in Iran too. It’s nowhere near what you say. This year on Aban 13th I was shocked to see so much people going into streets in support of the government (around 10Mn in all country, you too can check the videos, randomly use maps to measure the area and guess the numbers). Many went for the first time and just by their looks, they had no business being in a pro-IR gathering.
Curious thing is, despite the continuous and best efforts of some of our government officials to make people hate it, the absolute majority still cares about the IR. Don’t get fooled by online echo chambers, the streets are where it counts.
You’re right, I admit, these protests are not going to dethrone the molla’s, but it just shows that the young are disenfranchised and willing to violently protest. I believe the marja need to have a huddle and relax a lot of these restrictions specially when times are tough
It’s the holidays, they’ze drunk!
Yes British intelligence will be heavily involved in organising and running agents to cause trouble in Iran protests civil unrest and terrorist incidents to cause panic and alarm amongst the Iranian civilian population. Mi6 mossad and CIA will look to recruit people living in the West from Iranian backgrounds University students professional people and trouble makers so it looks like this group has been identified and hopefully closed down .
The funny thing is that the Brits actually helped Khomeini to be put in power. Now they don’t want him.
Why don’t you just admit yous middle eastern Assyrian/ Al-yahudi? it’s ok no? or you want to continue playing hide n seek games?
We found another Balu
Muhammad Balu Singh is like you. He is muzlim but refuses to admit it in public out of shame.
I am not Muslim on the other hand
Stop lying harumzade! You are muzlim, and if you are then to me you are kaafer!
True. These poor bastards think that US embraced them so they can be “free” and live by their own standards, forgetting that nothing comes free from US, Canada or UK.
Western governments have sold out to eugenicists like bourla and gates. Let’s hope they’re prosecuted and hanged for their crimes against humanity.
Don’t mimic Alex Jones. Eugenics is not just killing random people with vaccines. It’s about getting the best of the race to have more babies.
“Eugenics is NOT JUST KILLING RANDOM PEOPLE WITH VACCINES”. But it is for the most of time. Tell me, who would create the best of race. Ugly child molesting farts like Gates (whose own wife – a witch- abandoned him for being ugly shit) or even more ugly Lord Rotschield or enormous ugly Rockefellers (take a look at their female line, they look like they have been models for Schreck’s bride). These ugly stinking demons incarnated are to design “the best of human race”? Are you drunk? High? Headfucked? Circumsized at the tender age of 13?
Usa must looks its history Apachie and black peoples human rights.. before irans people. Or saudi arabias isis supports.
It is time to go on an offensive against this floating city that has caused so much division in the world, instead if complaining.
You know the ZOG Empire is dying when they can’t even set up a color revolution anymore. 2020: Failed Belarussian color revolution 2022: Failed Iranian color revolution
You say da same on Press TV but drive taxi in Brussels? Brah, get real no?……..Now listen here…….I’ll beat you up and get you deported back to Pakistan if you type up rubbish here…….you understand?
What took em so long? Couldn’t scrape together enough cash to meet the monthly bribes?
Erdogan and Raisi are in the target of color revolutions. This is true.
No, you are a muzlim. Just admit it.
Of course it is, Iran is riddled with Modsad, CIA and MI5/6,Iran needs to be awake…..
One day Iranian drones will cure the terrible disease in apartheid, occupied Palestine.
Elon Musk admits to 100 star link terminals over Iran. It can be assumed the US/NATO covert operatives are actively trying to overthrow the government and are prepared to create and promote social unrest to an extreme level using any possible pretext.
Hang the Brittish agents.
Line these scum up against a wall and mow them down with machine gun. GREAT work Iran. Keep arresting and executing these limeys then send them back in body bags after they decompose a little.
