Iran, Internal Unrest, and the Test of Leadership

✒️:. Nasir Hussain Peerzada/Srinagar

Recent events in Iran highlight the pressure that internal unrest and external influence place on national leadership. Supporters of the Iranian system argue that the United States and Israel sought to exploit social tensions by amplifying protests and presenting the country as unstable. They believe sections of international media echoed these narratives, shaping global perception against Iran.

Iran’s response followed a different path. Ayatullah Ali Khamenei urged citizens to distinguish between peaceful protest and violence. He called for unity and restraint. Large public gatherings followed across the country. Many inside Iran viewed this as proof of continued public support and political legitimacy.

This episode also exposes clear responsibilities for the state. Political mobilization alone cannot secure lasting stability. You need policies that address daily hardships. Inflation, weak purchasing power, and job insecurity remain real concerns. Economic reform and social welfare improvements matter. They reduce anger and limit the space for unrest.

Governance must stay proactive. Security agencies should counter foreign interference. At the same time, authorities must protect peaceful civic expression. You strengthen social cohesion when you separate dissent from disorder.

The wider debate extends beyond Iran. There is growing demand in the Muslim world to reassess the roots of Zionism and its impact on the Muslim Ummah. Many argue that Muslim rulers must free their policies from imperial influence led by figures like Donald Trump. Political independence and internal reform remain central to regional stability.
