- Probing Pentagon’s role in Iran’s riots

Orchestrating last year’s riots in Iran was unprecedented for the United States. All the plans designed during the riots were a sign of a major and multi-layered project against Iran. According to reports, the Pentagon had considered the overthrow of the Establishment as attainable in the short term, especially after the project was entrusted to the United States Central Command in the region (CENTCOM). What caused the riots to become more complicated was the use of modern technologies, especially artificial intelligence, to guide people to take measures ranging from operational actions to suicides, especially by girls and teenagers. However, the dimensions of the measures have not been well analyzed so far. Despite the analyses done by Western think tanks, the Pentagon believed that the collapse of the Establishment in Iran was attainable – the issue that caused the US to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs with all its strength.

- President: Iran’s voice is stronger than ever
