On November 20, President Hassan Rouhani, commenting on protests, announced "victory over the conspiracy of enemies." "The Iranian people once again successfully passed a historical test and showed that they would not allow enemies to benefit from the situation, even if they may have complaints about the management of the country," he said. At the same time, the Iranian agency FARS reported that among the protesters detained in the north of the country in the province of Alborz, there are people with double competing. The sources of the agency in law enforcement agencies argued that the detained citizens of Germany, Turkey and Afghanistan allegedly trained and financed "foreign services".
