Iran’s Intelligence Ministry says the long-term objective of the United States and Israel remains to overthrow the Islamic Republic and break up the country. In a statement carried by multiple outlets, the ministry says it has information indicating that Washington and Tel Aviv plan to “intensify economic pressure” as part of their approach. It also alleges that the effort includes attempts to create divisions within Iran among religious and ethnic groups. Beyond political and economic tactics, the ministry claims the same external actors seek to carry out sabotage and other “terrorist operations.”
The reports present the Iranian claims as intelligence assessments from the ministry, without providing independent verification or specific details about the alleged plots. The statements reflect continuing mutual hostility between Iran and the United States and Israel, and they come as Iran faces international scrutiny and sanctions-related pressure. No response from the U.S. or Israel is included in the summaries provided.
