<\/p>\nHead of Iran\u2019s Passive Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said that enemies were seeking to throw Iran into disarray though the recent unrests but the Iranian nation managed to foil their plots.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople understood that that the purpose of that sedition was to Syrianize Iran,\u201d and hence people \u2018quickly\u2019 acknowledged the difference between \u2018protest\u2019 and \u2018turbulence\u2019 which resulted in wrapping up the issue in 48 hours, Jalali said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Judiciary has said a number of those elements were tied to the notorious US-backed Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) terror group, royalists as well as separatists \u2014 who were nabbed in the country\u2019s border provinces \u2014 besides members of organized groups trained towards staging acts of sabotage. Iran has arrested over 100 ringleaders and masterminds of the violent attacks.<\/p>\n
He made the remarks while addressing a session held in Tehran to study different aspects of the unrest that erupted in the country after the administration increased the gasoline price in mid-November.<\/p>\n
Jalali pointed to the role of foreign-controlled social media in the recent incidents, criticizing the populist approach of some officials who support continuation of using these media in the country.<\/p>\n
He said that cutting the internet acted like \u2018water on fire\u2019 and proved that the unrest was being organized by these social media.<\/p>\n
The Iranian government raised gasoline prices last month in order to moderate the national consumption rate, which stands at 110 million liters per day, 40 million liters per day above the maximum domestic requirement.<\/p>\n
The move prompted some peaceful protests, but riotous elements, taking advantage of the situation, quickly entered the scene, destroying public property, setting ablaze banks and gas stations among other facilities, and opening fire on people and security forces.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the riots broke out, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei tasked the Supreme National Security Council with compiling a report detailing the reasons behind the riots and immediate attending of the families of the victims.<\/p>\n
