> Based on independent journalists in Iran, the protests were related to economic problems. The violence came from people with smuggled weapons who organized with satellite telephones. These people were planted by Mossad and CIA.

The funny part of this narrative that I'd expect pro-protest journalists and anti-protest journalist to like it. It shifts responsibility from both parties to some outside parties. But still for pro-government journalists the narrative is more convenient: government just likes to blame outside players, it just can't resist it. So my bet is the journalists you refer to are working for the government.

> Israel is far more extreme. They do have nuclear weapons. Their president is kept in power with eternal war.

Changing the topic by pointing at someone who is presumably worse is a classic technique of propaganda. It is the technique people learn to use in kindergarten, trying to shift responsibilities and to distract adults from their failings. It is the technique Adam and Eva used when trying to shift responsibility and to distract God from their own failings. The technique so simple, that propagandists just can't stop using it.

So my bet, that you are from the same group as journalists you mentioned. Maybe they and you are the same person, really.
