Tehran:Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has called on protesters worldwide to resist attempts by warmongering rulers to manipulate their demonstrations. He urged them not to allow their protests to be distorted by the creation of false narratives.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ghalibaf made these remarks in a post on his X account, where he criticized the strategies used to shift the focus of protests. He warned against the tactic of moving protests from "vertical to horizontal" and then discrediting activists for their actions.

Ghalibaf emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on critical issues, mentioning topics such as Epstein, Gaza, Iran war, and corruption as being linked to the same influential group. He cautioned against being distracted by divisive topics like "native vs. non-native," which he described as attempts to divert attention and evade accountability.
