President Donald Trump on Saturday called for an end to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 37-year reign.

An Iranian official said on Thursday that President Trump has informed Iran he doesn’t plan to attack the country and asked Tehran to exercise restraint.

As protests grow across Iran, the Mossad posted an unusual Farsi message urging demonstrators to act, saying it is with them in the streets, amid rising economic pressure and public unrest.

President Trump on Tuesday called for the protests in Iran to continue and said “help is on its way,” suggesting he was making another threat of military intervention.

A Farsi-language X account claiming to represent Israel’s Mossad encouraged protests in Iran on Monday and suggested that the Israeli spy agency has operatives involved in demonstrations on the ground.

Former US Secretary of State and ex-CIA Director Michael Richard Pompeo, has ignited a firestorm with his social media post where he asserts that Mossad agents are marching beside the protestors as the nation is engulfed in protest against the Khomeini regime. There had been speculation about the protest being amplified by the Israeli intelligence and, in some places, being organised to cash in on the economic turmoil within Iran to push for a pro-Western authority.

PARIS — The exiled son of Iran’s last shah today offered himself up as interim leader to take over running the country, as he called on the West to give its full-throated backing to regime change.
