US State Department says Iran’s fear exposed on day 13 of protests

Jan 10, 2026, 10:08 GMT+0

The Persian-language account of the United States Department of State wrote on X that on the 13th day of protests, the biggest fear of the Islamic Republic has become fully clear: Iranians are united and demanding change.

In a separate post, the account said the authorities’ response has been to cut internet access, use violence against the public and blame “foreign agitators” for the unrest. The reality is now evident, it added, saying the Islamic Republic has fallen into serious trouble.
