Iran Accuses U.S. and Israel of Seeking to Overthrow Islamic Republic

Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security released a statement asserting it has intelligence indicating the U.S. and Israel are planning to intensify economic pressure on Iran. The statement also claims these entities seek to create divisions among religious and ethnic groups within Iran and to carry out sabotage and other 'terrorist operations'. The Iranian government further stated that the 'enemy is now pursuing other means' to overthrow the Islamic Republic, a claim echoed by WION. While the U.S. and Israel have not directly responded to the accusations, the statements reflect ongoing geopolitical tensions and mutual distrust between Iran and Western powers. Tehran says the U.S. and Israel aim to destabilize the Islamic Republic through economic and subversive means. Washington has not commented on the specific allegations, though it has long criticized Iran's nuclear program and regional activities.
