The January 2026 Riots in the Words of Foreign Analysts

This report offers an analysis of the January 2026 riots in Iran through the comments of a number of prominent foreign university professors, media figures, journalists, and independent analysts. The lines and between the lines of all the content examined on the one hand, and the pattern of publishing content that encouraged and incited the riots on the other, indicate a large-scale security project –in the media and on the streets—aimed at overthrowing the government in Iran.

There is no doubt that the designers and instigators of this American-Zionist sedition, who in 1953 succeeded in overthrowing Iran’s democratically elected government—to restore the monarchy of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi through a coup—are now, as the President of Serbia said, dreaming to repeat the same old version from 73 years ago. In an interesting speech Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, considered the recent unrest in Iran to be the work of Mossad and the CIA and recommended reading the books “All the Shah’s Men” and “Operation Ajax” to better understand the situation in Iran, because, according to him, “what is happening in Iran today is the activities of Mossad and the CIA, which are carrying out exactly the same version of what happened 73 years ago, and are seeking to repeat the Velvet Revolution in Iran.”

 Many political activists have explained this issue and stated on various platform that the United States and the Israeli regime are simply seeking to appoint a henchman in Iran and that what is of least importance to them is the lives of the Iranian people. In this regard, Ervand Abrahamian contends that the goals of this security project go beyond the military-political collapse of the government, but rather aim at the destruction of the State.
