Iranian Police Warn Protesters: Our Fingers on the Trigger

The commander of the Iranian police, Ahmad Reza Radan, issued a stern warning to protesters who support anti-regime positions, asserting that authorities will treat them as enemies if they take any action in line with "the enemy's wishes."

Radan stated in comments broadcast by Iranian state television last night:

"If someone acts in accordance with the enemy's wishes, we will no longer see them as just a protester, but as an enemy. All our forces are on high alert, with their hands on the trigger, ready to defend their revolution."

This warning came after statements from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called on Iranians to rebel against their leadership, describing the Israeli-American struggle against Iran as a "historic war for freedom."

Netanyahu clarified in his message to the Iranian people:

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to overthrow the regime and gain your freedom. You asked for help, and it has come to you."

U.S. President Donald Trump has also repeatedly encouraged Iranians to view the joint American-Israeli attacks as an opportunity to topple the leadership in Tehran.

Tensions in the region have escalated with ongoing mutual threats between Tehran, Israel, and the United States, amid heightened security preparations within Iran, reflecting a serious escalation that could impact internal and regional stability.
