Iran Anti-Hijab Protests: “Various security services, Israel and some Western politicians have made plans for civil war,” Iran's foreign minister said.

Iran's foreign minister accused Israel and Western intelligence services of planning to divide Iran and start a civil war on Thursday, a day after seven people were killed in the southwestern city of Izeh in what state media presented as a "terrorist attack".
