In the midst of anti-Israel protests at prestigious U.S. universities, Iran has declared its support for the protesters. Hundreds of students have been arrested at various institutions for disrupting campus activities and trespassing. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian voiced support for those criticizing Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, condemning the law enforcement response to the protests and subsequent mass arrests. The students are demanding their schools sever ties with Israel and calling for a ceasefire in Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The protests have featured antisemitic slogans, chants, and even violence. Iran's foreign minister praised the protesters and called on the Biden administration to stop backing Israel. As students continue to defy authorities and face arrests, support from Iran heightens tensions. Multiple arrests have occurred at universities across the country, with clashes between protesters and law enforcement at various campuses. Columbia University has emerged as a focal point of the anti-Israel demonstrations, with over 100 arrests made. The situation remains volatile as students push for change in U.S. policies towards Israel.
