Masoud Pezeshkian, in his first clear stance regarding the widespread protests in Iran, referred to the protesters as "rioters" and "terrorists," calling for a "decisive" response from security forces against them.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a televised interview broadcast on Sunday, January 21, also claimed that the protesters, whose presence has become more pronounced since last Thursday in various cities, are receiving "orders" from the U.S. and Israel, adding that "the enemy has brought trained terrorists into the country."

This narrative is similar to what other officials and media affiliated with the Iranian government have been pursuing over the past three days, labeling the protesters as "terrorists."
