The Ministry of Information of the Islamic Republic warned on Wednesday, June 6, that after the recent war, "some shortages and price increases" due to U.S. economic pressures could lead to new unrest in Iran.

In a statement, the ministry claimed that "the intensification of economic pressures and, consequently, various social provocations by enemy agents and foreign Persian-language mercenary media, taking advantage of some shortages and price increases" is one of the focal points of attention for the U.S. and Israel.

The warning about the possibility of unrest comes amid a sharp rise in inflation rates and the prices of goods, as well as reports of a significant decline in the revenues of the Islamic Republic following weeks of U.S. maritime blockade and a severe drop in Iran's oil exports.

This is while the protests in December of last year also began after a continuous rise in currency rates in the market and commercial areas of Iran, and after a few days, with an increase in the number of protesters, faced severe violence from security forces and the killing of thousands.

The Ministry of Information also warned about "terrorist operations and border violations, especially in the northwest and southeast of Iran," and various types of "assassination and sabotage," claiming that the U.S. and Israel are seeking to introduce "various weapons, ammunition, and illegal communication tools, especially Starlink," into Iran.

Concerns about the spread of Starlink satellite internet come as, after 88 days of nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, citizens have gradually and limitedly been able to access some global internet services since Tuesday.

This statement, titled "A Word to Our Benefactors and a Warning to Our Enemies," published in Iranian domestic media, claims that "the enemy, defeated in military warfare, is seeking to produce achievements for itself, albeit through soft warfare."

This statement is issued while Ismail Khatib, the Minister of Information of the Islamic Republic, was killed in the third week of the war in an Israeli attack, and the government has yet to introduce a successor for him.

In this statement, the Ministry of Information accused not only Israel and the U.S. but also Britain and Europe of collaborating with these two powers, and identified the Arab countries bordering the Persian Gulf as "wealthy slaves" responsible for financing a "full-scale hybrid war" against the "heroic people of Iran."

The Ministry of Information threatened protesters and opponents of the Islamic Republic outside of Iran, stating: "Counter-revolutionary mercenaries and terrorists residing abroad and their supporters will also not be safe from the fire they ignite."
