"The internet was only cut after we confronted terrorist operations, and realised that orders were coming from outside the country, Araghchi told Al Jazeera. We have recorded voices of individuals giving orders from abroad to terrorist agents, instructing them to fire at police forces and fire at demonstrators if police forces were not present. Their intention was to spread killing."
"If Washington wants to test the military option it has tested before, we are ready for it, said Araghchi, adding that he hoped the US would choose the wise option of dialogue, while warning of those trying to drag Washington into war in order to serve Israel's interests. He said communications with US special envoy Steve Witkoff had continued before and after the protests and are still ongoing."
Authorities in Iran reported seizing US arms and explosive equipment hidden in several homes and attributed the weapons to militant networks. Officials asserted recordings exist of voices abroad ordering agents to fire on police and protesters and said the internet was cut only after confronting those terrorist operations. Iranian leaders accused foreign actors, including the United States and Israel, of deploying agents to instigate violence. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Tehran is ready for war if the United States tests military options, while urging Washington to choose dialogue. Communications with US special envoy Steve Witkoff were reported to be ongoing.
