Iran's UN mission accused the US of plotting regime change through sanctions, threats, and engineered unrest, calling it a familiar tactic to justify intervention. The mission stated that former President Trump's message to protestors, "HELP IS ON ITS WAY," aligns with this alleged playbook. Iran vowed that these efforts would fail, referencing a past conflict in June 2025. The US had previously advised its citizens to leave Iran due to ongoing unrest and internet blackouts.
