"The U.S. administration attempts to use the conditions in Iran to enhance its internal position and promote its domestic image by claiming false success," Fayyad, also professor of Iranian studies at Tanta University, told Xinhua.

"It is true that the situation in Iran is critical, but not as much as some try to depict," he added, stressing that "the Iranian regime has sufficient political and security abilities to contain the situation."

The Iranian Shiite citizens are traditionally governed by two leaders, one politically and another spiritually, represented in the president and the supreme leader of the Islamic republic.

"The Iranian regime is likely to contain the current unrest not only due to its political and security control but also because of the greater influence of its spiritual leadership," said the expert, expecting Iran to "overcome the current crisis fast."

At the request of the United States, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting last Friday on Iran's unrest, while Trump is considering ripping up the nuclear deal signed with Iran during the time of former U.S. President Barack Obama and reimposing U.S. sanctions on the Persian country.

Mohamed Mohsen Abul-Nour, Egyptian researcher in Iranian affairs, expressed his belief that the U.S. support for the Iranian protestors gives them confidence and energy to keep them going.

Abul-Nour added that the support gives an excuse to the Iranian regime to accuse the protesters of being agents and traitors.
