 Activists take part in a rally supporting protesters in Iran at Lafayette Park, across from the White House, in Washington, January 11, 2026

ISRAEL and the United States have sent Islamic State (Isis) terrorists to take part in the mass uprisings, Iranian authorities alleged today.

This comes as more observers call out the hypocrisy of nations who slam Iran’s clampdown on protests but themselves fail to follow international law.

At least 2,000 protesters are alleged to have been killed in a brutal Iranian clampdown, but it is not possible to report verifiable figures due to the Iranian closure of internet and communications facilities.

Armed forces chief of staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said that, to compensate for their defeat in last year’s 12-day “holy defensive war,” the US and Israel had “unleashed Isis terrorists on our great people.”

He added: “These mercenaries, who are worse than wild beasts, killed civilians and law enforcement officials.” 

…

While many observers salute the bravery of protesters on the streets of Iran, a growing number are beginning to call out foreign interference in the country.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai said today that she was supporting the Iranian protesters.

She took to social media to say that “the protests in Iran cannot be separated from the longstanding, state-imposed restrictions on girls’ and women’s autonomy, in all aspects of public life including education. Iranian girls, like girls everywhere, demand a life with dignity.”

But Ms Yousafzai added: “[Iran’s] future must be driven by the Iranian people and include the leadership of Iranian women and girls — not external forces or oppressive regimes.”

US aggression, UK support: The ‘special relationship’

From Iran to Libya, from Panama to Venezuela, there is a history of the UK supporting illegal US military interventions

Forty years ago, US warplanes bombed Libya, attempting to assassinate its leader Muammar Gaddafi. Failing in that task, they managed to kill dozens of civilians in Tripoli, Libya’s capital.

The attacks, which were in response to the bombing of a Berlin nightclub blamed on Gaddafi, were strongly supported by Margaret Thatcher’s government. Indeed, she allowed some of the US jets to take off from bases in Britain.  

In the face of widespread public opposition to the US raid, a defiant Thatcher told parliament it was “a necessary and proportionate response to a clear pattern of Libyan terrorism” and to “uphold international law”.

However, the UN General Assembly, and most world opinion, condemned the attack as a violation of international law. 

But for the British prime minister: “The United States has stood by us in times of need, as we have stood by her. To refuse their request for the use of bases here would have been to abandon our responsibilities as an ally and to weaken the fight against terrorism.”

Fast forward two decades, and we find ourselves in a not dissimilar situation over US attacks on Venezuela. 

UK ministers give their backing to the kidnapping of a foreign head of state amidst a military intervention, condemned in the wider world but supported in Whitehall because of the so-called “special relationship”.

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has revealed that Israeli agents are currently active in Iran.

In an interview with Israel’s army radio, Eliyahu discussed Israeli operations in Iran over the past year and claimed that activities are ongoing, according to Israel Hayom newspaper.

He said, “When we struck Iran last year, we were on their territory and knew how to prepare the ground for the attack. I can assure you that our people are working there right now.”

Referring to Iran’s internal situation and possible Israeli involvement, he added “Are they now acting directly to topple the regime? No. Are they acting to ensure that Iran cannot threaten us from all other aspects? Yes.”

Earlier this week, Eliyahu called for action against “terrorist elements in the Bedouin diaspora,” saying the issue “is no less serious than jihadist terrorism.” He also urged that “the same measures used against Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists” be applied against those causing unrest.

Iran warns it may launch pre-emptive strike against Israel

Iran has warned that it may carry out a pre-emptive strike against its adversaries, signalling a potential escalation in regional tensions, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by the newly formed Iranian Defence Council.

In the statement, the council said any interference in Iran’s internal affairs or attempts to destabilise the country would be met with a decisive response. It stressed that Tehran would not restrict its actions to responding only after an attack, but would also take into account what it described as “tangible indicators of threats” as part of its security calculations.

The warning comes two days after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted military exercises involving air defence systems and missile units, aimed at testing readiness levels.

The statement was issued amid heightened internal pressures, as Iranian security forces seek to contain widespread protests driven by inflation and the sharp depreciation of the national currency.

The Iranian Defence Council, which was established following the June 2015 war between Iran and Israel, said that Iran’s security, independence and territorial integrity constitute “a red line that cannot be crossed”.

“Any aggression or continued hostile behaviour will be met with a suitable, decisive and harsh response,” the statement said, adding: “Whoever attacks you must be attacked in kind,” without explicitly naming any specific adversary.

Iran’s state-run English-language newspaper, Tehran Times, also referred to the possibility of what it described as “pre-emptive self-defence”, reinforcing the message conveyed by the council.

The remarks are likely to heighten concerns over further escalation between Iran and Israel, amid an already volatile regional security environment.

The United States has reportedly given Israel approval to carry out “special operations” in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media outlets.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) said late on Monday that the green light was discussed during a security meeting that lasted more than four hours. According to sources cited by the broadcaster, the meeting reviewed developments across four fronts: Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

The report said the Israeli cabinet is scheduled to convene next Thursday to discuss the Gaza, Lebanon and Iran files, according to Channel 14.

A senior Israeli official was quoted as saying after the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump that reconstruction in the Gaza Strip would not begin unless Hamas relinquishes its weapons.

The official said there would be no move to a second phase of any agreement without disarmament, adding that no Turkish forces would be allowed to enter Gaza.

The reports come amid continued Israeli deliberations over military and political options in Gaza and growing regional tensions involving neighbouring fronts.
