Israel’s Channel 14 has claimed that “external factors” are arming Iranian protesters, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of security forces.
This report, released without specific details, coincides with Iranian officials’ claims that protesters are trained and armed.
Meanwhile, Reuters quoted an unnamed Iranian official stating that about 2,000 people have been killed in the protests, with the government blaming “terrorists” for the violence. Funerals for approximately 100 security personnel were held in Iran today.
The Israeli outlet also speculated that Donald Trump might soon order an attack on Iran.
The report suggests that circulating images of protester casualties are putting pressure on the US President, leaving him with few options but to act.
