Protesters supporting anti-government demonstrations in Iran were confronted outside the Iranian consulate in Istanbul, with counter-protesters calling them “Zionist pawns” and accusing their Shah of being a Zionist. Anti-government protests in Iran have continued for more than two weeks, alongside the presence of pro-government demonstrations. Israel has openly expressed support for the demonstrators and said it is monitoring the unrest, a stance that has drawn criticism over Israel’s own human rights record. The United States has signalled it is “ready to help” protesters and has discussed possible intervention options as Tehran accuses foreign governments of intervening in domestic affairs. Iranian authorities say the US and Israel are involved, adding that foreign involvement and agents have steered the protests toward violence. Support stories that matter.
