Ayatollah Khomeini has accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating riots dismissed by critics as fabricated. The BBC, another independent media are barred from reporting from inside Iran. This makes it difficult to verify what is claimed by state media. There's going to be people who tell me that the protests are not as serious as I think they are. In fact, most ordinary Iranians don't agree with the protests. These protesters have injured many people, a lot of the reported deaths have been as a result of the protest. So if you dismiss something, you say it's not true, or you say it’s not important. Just dismiss it.
