Soumaya Ghannoushi, a writer and expert in Middle Eastern politics, explains that the recent unrest that unfolded in Iran was shaped and exploited by foreign powers.
Ghannoushi argues that external forces deliberately manipulated the protests, which originated as a response to economic hardship, to push for regime change.
She emphasises that Western nations and Israel have a long history of using sanctions, covert actions and economic pressures to destabilise Iran, echoing the 1953 overthrow of former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.
