SAEDNEWS: The Islamic Republic newspaper exposes decades‑old U.S. and Israeli schemes to carve up Iran along ethnic lines, warning that past aggressions only unified the nation’s diverse communities.
According to Saed News, the Jomhouri Eslami daily has unearthed startling evidence that American and Israeli authorities have long nurtured designs to fracture Iran’s territorial integrity, dating back over half a century. Drawing on leaked Pentagon documents—allegedly shared with a prominent Hollywood director during research on a George W. Bush biopic—and an analytical report aired on Israel’s i24 News, Tehran’s state‑aligned outlet warns that Western powers once believed they could exploit Iran’s ethnic mosaic to sow separatism.
The i24 segment quoted an unnamed Iranian‑Jewish commentator advising Tel Aviv to tailor subversion strategies to each community—Baluch, Arab, Kurdish, Turk, and even monarchist factions—arguing that cultural affinity, not force, would secure their allegiance. Jomhouri Eslami notes that this blueprint aligns eerily with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s 1978 prophecy predicting that, absent his rule, Iran would splinter into “Iranstan.”
Yet, the newspaper asserts, every attempt has backfired. During the recent 12‑day confrontation—when Israel and its American backers anticipated tribal uprisings—they instead witnessed unprecedented national solidarity, as all ethnic groups rallied behind the republic and repelled external aggression. This unity, Jomhouri Eslami argues, starkly contradicts foreign intelligence assessments that misread popular sentiment as factional discontent.
In light of these revelations, the paper urges policymakers to address genuine domestic grievances—economic, political, cultural, and social—to preempt any external exploitation of dissatisfaction. It calls for a commitment to citizens’ welfare, freedoms, and rights, insisting that only competent, courageous, and empathetic leadership can honor Iran’s enduring unity and thwart half‑century‑old plots against its sovereignty.
