During a recent statement, John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, revealed that Iran has been providing funding for some of the anti-Israel protests taking place in the United States. This disclosure came in response to questions regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accusations against Iran for supporting terrorism and attacks on Israel.

Kirby clarified that while Iran has indeed been financing and promoting certain protest activities in the U.S., not all demonstrations are believed to be backed by Iran. He emphasized that there is a significant amount of genuine concern among Americans about the events unfolding in the Middle East, leading to the organic formation of many protests.
