"Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded publicly Monday to the biggest protests in Iran in years, breaking weeks of silence to condemn what he called “rioting” and to accuse the U.S. and Israel of planning the unrest.
The mass protests, ignited by the death of a young woman in the custody of Iran’s morality police, is flaring up across the country for a third week despite government efforts to suppress them.
On Monday, Iran shuttered its top technology university following an hours-long standoff between students and the police that turned the prestigious institution into the latest flashpoint and ended with hundreds of young people arrested.
Speaking to a cadre of police students in Tehran, Khamenei said he was “heartbroken” by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody, calling it a “sad incident.” However, he sharply condemned the protests as a foreign plot to destabilize Iran, echoing authorities’ previous comments."
