Iran Accuses West of 'Crocodile Tears' Over Protests, Silence on Gaza

  • Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi accused the US and Western allies of double standards regarding protests in Iran and Israel's actions in Gaza.
  • Araghchi stated the West shows concern for "terrorists in Iran" but ignores alleged crimes by Israel in Gaza.
  • Protests, initially over rising prices, have broadened into a challenge to Iran's clerical leadership, despite official claims of control.
  • Iranian officials accuse the US and Israel of instigating unrest and plan a rally to denounce "terrorist actions."
  • US President Donald Trump has threatened action against Iran if security forces fire on protesters, considering military strikes and cyber operations.

Why It Matters: Iran criticizes Western hypocrisy on protests and Gaza, while internal unrest continues and US threatens action.
