The message comes amid continued unrest inside Iran and heightened tensions with the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement shared on social media, the Iranian Embassy in India said large pro-government gatherings across Iran had thwarted what it described as plans by foreign adversaries, allegedly executed through internal collaborators. The embassy praised the demonstrations as a show of national unity and resolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Iranian nation has clearly demonstrated its strength, awareness and determination,\u201d the statement said, adding that the public mobilization served as a message to US politicians to abandon what it termed misleading narratives and reliance on \u201cmercenary elements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The embassy further emphasized that Iran remains vigilant and prepared to confront its adversaries, asserting that the country is capable of distinguishing between genuine dissent and foreign-backed efforts to destabilize the state.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have defended ongoing restrictions on global internet access, imposed earlier this month as protests spread across several provinces. Iran\u2019s National Center for Cyberspace said the blackout, which began on January 9, will remain in place until security agencies conclude their assessments and determine that stability has been fully restored.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Amin Aqamiri, head of the National Center for Cyberspace, said the decision was necessary to counter what officials describe as \u201ccognitive warfare\u201d conducted through online platforms.<\/p>\n<p>He added that while access to the international internet remains limited, the country\u2019s domestic intranet \u2014 the National Information Network \u2014 has been reinforced to ensure continuity of essential digital services.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have not provided a timeline for restoring full connectivity, stating that normal access will resume only after security concerns are addressed.<\/p>\n<p>The developments come as Iran continues to face widespread protests fueled by economic pressures, rising inflation and public dissatisfaction with governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Tehran (Iran) January 13, 2026, BNN Web Staff: Iran has issued a sharp warning to American political leaders, asserting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[229],"tags":[3422,3445,3446,749,3447,3332,3448,3427,3449,3450,3334,3451],"class_list":["post-33738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news","tag-cyberspace-authority","tag-foreign-interference","tag-internet-shutdown","tag-iran","tag-iranian-embassy","tag-middle-east-politics","tag-mohammad-amin-aqamiri","tag-national-information-network","tag-protests-in-iran","tag-security-measures","tag-us-iran-tensions","tag-warning-to-us-politicians"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"colormag-highlighted-post":false,"colormag-featured-post-medium":false,"colormag-featured-post-small":false,"colormag-featured-image":false,"colormag-default-news":false,"colormag-featured-image-large":false},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"admin","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/18e12f979c7dbcc2096868fc531de295a11443c392b4bb6e60ce343131707eaa?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"&nbsp; Tehran (Iran) January 13, 2026, BNN Web Staff: Iran has issued a sharp warning to American political leaders, asserting","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["World News"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":1,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":false,"medium":false,"thumbnail":false},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/mediapbn.com\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/18e12f979c7dbcc2096868fc531de295a11443c392b4bb6e60ce343131707eaa?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/mediapbn.com\/?cat=229\">World News<\/a>","videoUrl":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
